Caladium, a herbaceous perennial belonging to the family Araceae, captivates with its vibrant and intricate foliage. Native to tropical rainforests, it flourishes in warm, humid environments and requires bright indirect light. With its moderate watering needs and preference for well-draining soil, caladium thrives in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Despite its striking appearance, the plant is toxic to humans and pets, making it an ornamental delight to be admired from afar.
