Reviews

I love caladiums and plant many of them every year. I was attracted to this one because of its unusual color. So despite the price (compared to the price of the caladium tubers I usually buy), I ordered it. I planted it where it is in shade in the morning, but gets afternoon sun. The color is indeed unusual and lovely. But I was disappointed in the overall performance of the plant. The stems are weaker than the stems of my other caladiums, and they flop over a day or so after the leaves unfurl. The leaves themselves are not very long-lasting.
