Caladium bicolour – Plant Description

Caladium bicolour, often simply called Caladium or Angel Wings, is the most widely grown and recognised species of the Caladium genus, belonging to the Araceae family. Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, especially Brazil, this species has been cultivated for centuries for its decorative foliage.

What makes C. bicolour so remarkable is its diversity. From this species, hundreds of cultivars have been developed, offering leaves in a spectacular range of colours – from pure white and soft pink to vivid red and green combinations. The heart- or arrowhead-shaped leaves are thin, papery, and semi-translucent, often patterned with contrasting veins, freckles, or mottling. No two cultivars are alike, making this species endlessly varied and collectable.

In its natural habitat, Caladium bicolour grows in the shaded understory, thriving in warmth and humidity. As a cultivated plant, it is prized for bringing tropical drama to shaded patios, conservatories, and indoor displays. Mature plants typically reach 40–60 cm in height, with tubers producing a clump of large, colourful leaves each season.


Caladium bicolour – Care Guide

Light

Prefers bright, indirect light indoors. Outdoors, it thrives in partial or dappled shade. Too much direct sunlight will scorch the delicate leaves, while insufficient light may cause colours to fade.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Water when the surface begins to dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent tuber rot. During dormancy in winter, drastically reduce watering or stop altogether until new shoots emerge in spring.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Protect from draughts and avoid exposure below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity. Mist leaves regularly or use a humidifier to prevent crispy edges. Ideal for terrariums, bathrooms, or warm conservatories.

Soil and Potting

Use a rich, well-draining peat-free compost, blended with perlite or orchid bark to improve aeration. Plant tubers shallowly, just beneath the soil surface, in spring. Repot annually to refresh the soil at the beginning of the growing season.

Feeding

Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during the growing season. Stop feeding once the leaves begin to die back in autumn.

Growth and Dormancy

  • Growth: Tubers produce multiple large, heart-shaped leaves in a variety of colours.

  • Dormancy: In late autumn, foliage dies back as the tubers rest. Store tubers in their pot with minimal moisture, or lift and store in a cool, dry place until spring.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove yellowing or fading leaves at the base. Do not cut healthy leaves, as they provide energy for the tuber.

Common Issues

  • Leaf scorch: Caused by direct sun exposure.

  • Crisping edges: From low humidity or irregular watering.

  • Yellowing leaves: Often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Pests: May attract thrips, aphids, or spider mites. Inspect regularly.

Background and Benefits

Caladium bicolour is the foundation of nearly all cultivated caladium varieties grown worldwide. Its extraordinary variation in leaf pattern and colour makes it one of the most versatile ornamental foliage plants. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it brings a sense of tropical richness and artistic flair to any setting.

So pretty!
Color: White, Size: 2 Layers, 20 Hooks
I got the two drawer box. Very nice quality necklace organizer. Looks beautiful with all my necklaces in it. Versatile as well as it has compartment on the bottom so that when you pull the drawer out the longer necklaces stay contained. You can also hang more than one necklace on the little hooks. I feel this will provide superb protection for my jewelry even with travel. I wish I got this sooner! It is a beautiful way to display the necklaces but I keep mine in my dresser drawer and it fits perfectly.

Perfect storage for necklaces
Color: Black, Size: 2 Layers, 20 Hooks
I adore this necklace organizer. I have many necklaces that I was storing in the top of my jewelry box on little hooks, but when I close the box top, everyting would get tangled up. There were not enough hooks to accommodate my collection. With this box, I have it standing upright next to my jewelry box and with the clear lid, I can easily see all my necklaces right away when deciding which one I want to wear that day. I put all my favorites in the top drawer for easy access. The drawers pull out easily and nothing is tangled. I often switch the back drawer with the front to change things up. Construction feels well made.
