Lighter pink mottling across the leaf surface adds a soft, speckled texture. Newer leaves can open paler, in cream and blush pink flecked with red, before deepening in colour. A fancy-leaf caladium that grows from a tuber into a full, compact clump, it brings warm, glowing colour to any indoor space through the warmer months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You’ll Love It ✔️\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ Glowing coral-red foliage – Rich red-pink leaves with delicate green veining and edges give it an intense colour that rivals any flowering plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ Full, compact growth – In warm weather it grows quickly into a lush clump of leaves, ideal for tabletops, shelves and windowsills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ Colour with texture – Soft speckled mottling and paler new leaves give ‘Kelly’ more depth than solid red caladiums, so the plant looks lively from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌞 Light: Bright indirect light keeps the red tones rich and the growth compact. Gentle morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the thin leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e💧 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e💦 Humidity: It prefers 60% humidity or higher. A humidifier helps prevent crispy leaf edges, especially in air-conditioned rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌡 Temperature: 20–30°C is ideal. Keep it consistently 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌱 Soil: Use a well-draining mix of coco coir, coco chip \u0026amp; perlite that holds some moisture without becoming waterlogged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌿 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🚫 Toxicity: Toxic to pets and people if chewed or eaten. Caladiums contain calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caladium × hortulanum ‘Kelly’, Angel Wings, Elephant Ears, Heart of Jesus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA bold burst of warm colour for your indoor jungle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on Caladiums:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uprooted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43697562583275,"sku":"CALADIUM-KELLY","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1455\/8287\/files\/F73888C3-B163-44D7-9F9E-F79BF4924237_1_105_c.jpg?v=1793252663","url":"https:\/\/www.uprooted.com.au\/products\/caladium-kelly","provider":"Uprooted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
