Product description
Caladium Kelly is a small houseplant with unique, pale coloured leaves which will attract attention in any room. Its pale cream, almost white leaves are edged with green, marked with green central veining, and spotted all over with pale pink.
Place Caladium Kelly Casey in a partially shaded area, away from any direct sunlight. In fact, it will even tolerate some full shade. This plant prefers some humidity so it will appreciate a regular misting. Water little but often, allowing only the top layer of soil to dry out.
The uniquely spotted leaves and colour scheme make this an ideal houseplant for the plant lover who already has everything. Its patterned veining and pink spots will brighten up any area in your home, making it an excellent plant gift.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph. Or of course, you could stick with Kelly!

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Caladiums thrive in high humidity, so consider misting the foliage or using a humidifier if your indoor environment is dry. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser during the growing season to support lush, vibrant leaves. As the plant enters dormancy in cooler months, cut back watering and allow the bulbs to rest before replanting the following spring. Proper care will reward you with stunning displays year after year.
How to Water
Water Caladiums consistently to maintain evenly moist soil without overwatering. During active growth, check the soil frequently and water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in autumn as the plant begins to go dormant. Use lukewarm, filtered water if possible, as Caladiums are sensitive to cold or mineral-heavy water. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
To plant Caladiums, select a warm, partially shaded spot with well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic soil. If planting bulbs, position them with the pointed end facing upward and cover with 2–3 cm of soil. Space bulbs or plants about 30–45 cm apart to allow their vibrant foliage to spread. Water thoroughly after planting and place in a location protected from strong winds and direct sunlight for best results.
