Caladium 'Lucia'

Caladium 'Lucia' is a tuber-forming Caladium cultivar with broad heart-shaped leaves in pink, green and softly mottled intermediate tones. Each leaf emerges on a slender petiole from the tuber, building a rounded clump while the plant is in active growth.

The strongest colour sits through the central blade, with green margins and veining giving the leaves a clear outline. Some leaves show a defined pink centre, while others develop a more blended transition between pink, pale and green tissue. This variation gives the clump a changing pink-green pattern through the growing season.

Caladium 'Lucia' pink colour and green edging

  • Broad heart-shaped leaves with pink central colouring
  • Green margins and visible veining around the blade
  • Mottled transitions between pink, pale and green areas
  • Seasonal clumping habit from an underground tuber

Caladium 'Lucia' tuber growth in containers

Caladium 'Lucia' grows from a storage tuber, with the visible plant rebuilding from the crown during each active season. During warm active growth, the tuber produces new roots and repeated leaves from the crown. As the season ends, the foliage can yellow and collapse while the tuber remains the living part of the plant.

Cultivated Caladiums are tuberous aroids in Araceae. Caladium 'Lucia' grows best when the tuber stays warm in an airy, lightly moist substrate during leaf production, then rests drier once the foliage has yellowed.

Caladium 'Lucia' pink-leaf care

  • Bright warm placement: Position Caladium 'Lucia' in bright filtered light, such as an east-facing window or a spot behind a sheer curtain.
  • Moisture pace: Keep the mix evenly moist while leaves are expanding, then allow the surface to dry slightly before watering again.
  • Loose substrate texture: Use a loose blend with fine bark, fibre, and perlite so roots stay lightly moist while the tuber remains aerated.
  • Root-zone warmth: Keep the plant above 18 °C, with stronger growth around 21–29 °C.
  • Consistent air moisture: A steady moderate-to-high humidity range helps broad leaves expand smoothly and reduces dry margins.
  • Nutrient timing: Feed in small diluted doses during active growth. Keep resting tubers unfed until new growth begins.
  • Restart potting: Refresh the mix as the tuber wakes, placing the growing point upward and keeping the crown lightly covered.
  • Rest-phase care: When several leaves yellow together, reduce watering gradually and keep the tuber warm-dry through rest.
  • Warm-weather placement: During consistently warm weather, a sheltered shaded outdoor spot can suit the active summer phase.

Caladium 'Lucia' moisture and tuber signals

  • Drooping in wet substrate: Check pot warmth and drainage; saturated, cool mix can weaken the tuber zone.
  • Brown papery patches: Shift the plant away from strong direct sun and heat trapped near glass.
  • Slow sprouting: Increase warmth around the pot before increasing water.
  • Gradual whole-plant yellowing: If the tuber is firm, the plant is likely entering its seasonal rest phase.

Caladium 'Lucia' safety in shared spaces

Caladium 'Lucia' contains calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves, petioles, and tuber. Chewed tissue may irritate the mouth, tongue, and throat, with possible drooling or swallowing difficulty, so keep the plant in a safe position.

Caladium 'Lucia' genus background

Caladium belongs to Araceae, with a genus name commonly traced to Malay keladi. The accepted tuberous species Caladium bicolor forms part of the background of many ornamental foliage caladiums, including named cultivars such as 'Lucia'.

Petioles spread from the compact tuber crown, holding rounded pink-green leaves above the pot.

Amazing!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is amazing! I love that it goes on blue and then turns clear. It’s helping my kids learn to put it on themselves. It also stays on good and we haven’t had any sunburns even on the beach.

Great product
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We really love the roll-on application of the sunscreen. It's great quality and ease for use is perfect for both parents and kids to use. It does require some extra rubbing in after rolled on, but it's perfect in order to see any areas that may or may not have been missed. I recommend and will purchase again.

Great sunscreen!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My kids used to hate putting sunscreen on, but with this one they do it without complaining. The light green color makes it easy to see, and the roll-on design is super simple for kids to use. They actually enjoy it. It feels like they’re painting their face and body, which makes it fun. The only downside is that it leaks a little.

Good protection, easy to tell where it was applied
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Putting sunscreen on kids can be a struggle. This product does many things well: easy to put on, no stinging eyes or coughing like there is with spray, provides good coverage, lasts a long time while sweating, and blocks sun well. But the really cool part is it goes on blue initially (dries clear/slightly white). This is helpful when my little one puts on his own sunscreen because it makes it easier to see the spots he missed (usually many) and helps ensure he fills in the gaps. Also great for the adults - I used it on vacation when I ran out of mine and it worked very well (great if you have arm hair too - not as sticky as many others)

Nice sunscreen, not very blue
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Rolls on/spreads very nicely. Not too sticky and my toddler doesn’t mind it the way she does most other sunscreens. Seems to protect well. It’s fun “blue” color is extremely faint and the product itself is closer to cloud white than sky blue. I would imagine it would barely show up at all on darker skin tones but still not complaining as she is letting me apply it despite the absence of the ‘finger painting’ I had tried to get her excited for.
