6” Xanthosoma (Caladium Lindenii)

Caring for Xanthosoma, also known as Caladium Lindenii  involves the following short care instructions: 1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.  2. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down. 3. Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidity tray to maintain humidity levels. 4. Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect from drafts and keep it away from cold windows in winter. 5. Soil: Use well-draining, aerated potting mix. A mix designed for aroids or tropical plants works well. 6. Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows. 7. Pruning: Trim back leggy growth to maintain a bushy shape. Remove any yellow or dead leaves promptly. 8. Propagation: Propagate by stem cutting
