The Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’ is a beautifully expressive houseplant, known for its soft, heart-shaped leaves washed in shades of pink, green and white. Each leaf feels almost hand-painted, with delicate veining and subtle colour shifts that give the plant a light, airy presence. It’s a variety that draws you in the closer you look, with no two leaves ever quite the same.

Supplied in a 13cm nursery pot, this is a well-established plant with enough presence to stand out, while still feeling refined and easy to place around the home. Caladiums have a natural softness to them, bringing a sense of calm and gentle movement that works particularly well in quieter, more considered spaces.

Often grown for their foliage alone, Caladiums are all about colour and texture. ‘Carolyn Wharton’ offers a slightly more muted, romantic palette compared to brighter varieties, making it especially easy to style in modern interiors without overwhelming the space.

Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’ is a seasonal plant, naturally dying back in autumn and winter before regrowing in spring. During dormancy, reduce watering and keep the tuber warm and dry until new growth appears.

Care is simple: place in bright, indirect light, keep the soil lightly moist while actively growing, and maintain warm temperatures above 18°C for best results.

Styling tips

Place this plant where its delicate colouring can be appreciated up close, such as a side table, shelf or bedside.

The soft pink and green tones pair beautifully with neutral interiors, light woods and natural textures.

Works well as a contrast to darker foliage plants, adding lightness and variation to a collection.

Ideal for bedrooms, reading corners or calm living spaces where a softer aesthetic is preferred.

Care guide

Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’ prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its colour and leaf detail.

Keep the soil lightly moist during its growing season, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.

Avoid cold draughts and keep in a warm room, ideally above 18°C.

As a seasonal plant, it may naturally die back during autumn and winter. This is completely normal, and it will regrow when conditions warm up again.

Why choose Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’?

This is a plant for those who appreciate subtlety and detail. Its soft colouring and gentle form offer something different from bolder foliage plants, creating a more relaxed and considered feel. It’s particularly rewarding for those who enjoy watching plants change and return with the seasons.

Interesting facts

Caladiums are native to tropical regions of South America, where they grow in warm, shaded environments beneath the forest canopy.

Their seasonal growth cycle means they naturally rest and regrow, rather than staying constant year-round.

The name ‘Carolyn Wharton’ is associated with one of the classic Caladium cultivars, prized for its distinctive pastel colouring.

FAQs

Small
A little small but my dog loved them. Does not hold up to a shredder though. Perfect for typical toy lovers

None of the stuffing pulled out
I have 3 dogs. 1 is very gentle w/ stuffed toys. 1 is new to us and very anxious and kept stealing things like water bottles to gnaw on. And 1 destroys every stuffed toy we have ever brought into the house. We bought these for the anxious one. She was recently adopted and very people shy and afraid of the world around her. She doesn't know how to play with people and she's terrified if you try to throw a ball or if you squeak a squeaker, but we also needed something durable enough for her chewing that would be safe for her and could also withstand the toy destroyer possibly getting hold of it. They've been playing with these for a few months now and the most damage is that some of the rope necks are a bit frayed and a lot of the fuzz on the outside is gone, but none of them have been torn open. And the squeakers are in there in a way that it's hard to make them squeak if not doing so intentionally. The 1 dog can have plush toys again, the 1 dog can gnaw and chew to reduce her anxiety and the 3rd can chew and attack it without me having to clean up stuffing all the time

Very durable
Color: 3 Pack Donkey Giraffe Dog
For some reason I thought they would be a little bigger but I have to say they are very durable. My Saint Bernard has not shredded them to pieces yet. Normally the toys last a day or two but he still has them after 3 weeks. 👍
