How to fertilize Fiesta Caladium
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Fiesta Caladium after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I planted Colocasia in one of the fence hanging planters this year for the first time and I am in love with these leaves! They sparkle in the morning sun! #SpringIntoSummer #plantsofthe40thstreetbungalow

My caladium is drooping, I thought maybe I had overwatered it but as I let the soil at the base dry more. It seems as though it’s drooping more and some leaves are dying. Please help!! #Caladium

My caladium lindenii is developing dry brown spots on all of its leaves. It might be due to overwatering, but I water it once a week and let it drain for a day. I also live in an / a very dry NYC climate now given the winter and strong heat in my building #Caladium

Caladium last year (late summer) I got a baby caladium trio. I nourished them and they thrived (new leaves, crazy growth). Now they’ve been in winter sleep and my trusted source advised me to just leave them in their pots. Now as spring is emerging I’m wondering if I have to do anything? My trusted blog advises that I can just wait with watering until the plants push out new leaves, but how can it without any water? How do you get your caladium out of winter sleep? #Caladium #CaladiumCrew #help
