Caladiums prefer bright, indirect light and consistently moist soil. They thrive in warm, humid environments and should be protected from cold drafts. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
