Caladium Bicolor ‘Raspberry Moon’ – Pink Speckled Fancy-Leaf Caladium
Caladium bicolor ‘Raspberry Moon’ is a colourful tropical foliage plant with heart-shaped, lime-green leaves heavily splashed and speckled with raspberry pink and dark green. Each leaf has its own pattern, so the plant looks like a living piece of art. It’s a fancy-leaf caladium from the Heart to Heart® series with a full, mounding habit, and it makes an eye-catching indoor plant during the warmer months.
Why You’ll Love It ✔️
✔️ Painterly foliage – Raspberry-pink splatters over lime green and deep green create a bold, playful pattern, and no two leaves are the same.
✔️ Compact and full – It forms a neat mound of upright, heart-shaped leaves that grows to around 40–50 cm tall, which makes it ideal for tabletops, shelves and mixed displays.
✔️ Colour that pops – ‘Raspberry Moon’ has a bright lime base that makes its pink speckling stand out, so it looks more vivid than many white or red caladiums.
Care Tips
🌞 Light: Bright indirect light gives the best colour and sturdy growth. Gentle morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the thin leaves.
💧 Water: Keep the mix evenly moist during active growth and water when the top couple of centimetres begin to dry. Don’t let it dry out completely, but avoid soggy mix, which can rot the tuber.
💦 Humidity: It prefers 60% humidity or higher. A humidifier helps prevent crispy leaf edges, especially in air-conditioned rooms.
🌡 Temperature: 20–30°C is ideal. It is very sensitive to cold, so keep it above 18°C. As temperatures drop in autumn, caladiums naturally go dormant and the leaves die back. Reduce watering, keep the tuber dry and warm over winter, and new leaves will return in spring.
🌱 Soil: Use a well-draining mix of coco coir, coco chip & perlite that holds some moisture without becoming waterlogged.
🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is already added to the potting mix. During spring and summer, add a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every few weeks. Stop feeding once the plant begins to go dormant.
🚫 Toxicity: Toxic to pets and people if chewed or eaten. Caladiums contain calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat.
Also known as: Caladium × hortulanum ‘Raspberry Moon’, Heart to Heart® ‘Raspberry Moon’, Angel Wings, Elephant Ears, Heart of Jesus
A note on Caladiums: Caladiums vary naturally in colour, pattern, leaf size and shape. Even plants of the same variety can look quite different from one another, and from leaf to leaf on the same plant. Please treat our product images as a guide only. Caladiums are tropical plants and need consistently warm temperatures above 18°C to keep actively growing. When temperatures drop below this, they naturally go dormant and their leaves die back. This is a normal part of their growth cycle and doesn’t mean the plant has died. The tuber rests underground, and new leaves return when warm conditions come back.
We get a lot of questions about how our shipping works, so here’s a simple breakdown 🌿📦
Our shipping rates are charged per box, with each box able to fit up to 8 × 75mm potted plants.
As a general guide:
• 75mm pots make the best use of space, with up to 8 plants fitting in one box
• 100mm pots take up more space, so a box will usually fit around 3 plants depending on their size and shape
If your order requires more than one box, the website will automatically add the additional shipping charge.
For example:
• Up to 8 × 75mm plants = 1 box
• Larger 100mm plants use more box space and may reduce the total number of plants that fit in each box
