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

Is Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’ easy to care for?
It’s relatively straightforward if kept warm and in good light, though it does have a natural dormancy period which can surprise new growers.

Does this plant lose its leaves?
Yes, Caladiums often die back in cooler months. This is part of their natural cycle, and they will regrow in spring.

Is it suitable for beginners?
It can be, as long as you’re aware of its seasonal nature and avoid overwatering when it’s not actively growing.

This is the chair! Stop looking! You found it!
Color: Grey
Seriously, it's just a great chair. It's comfy, it works, it's well made and it's a fantastic price. I picked this up after trying a "criss cross" style chair that simply was NOT working for everyday, all day home office work. This chair is great and I love that the arms can go up, which turns it into a great art chair as well! The back support is solid, although it's not cushioned at all so you may find putting a little lumbar pillow will help (it hasn't bothered me but over time the elasticity of the mesh has worn a bit) It was very easy to put together and I've been using it everyday, for 8-10 hours a day for several months now. For price you can't beat it. It's also wide enough of a seat I can sit cross crossed.

Cheap and pretty comfortable, but poor adjustment functions.
Color: Black
Chair is pretty comfortable, wheels are solid and it holds height well. Biggest issue is the lean lock, even when engaged the chair does not hold an upright position, so if you're like me and prefer sitting relatively straight, this chair does not offer much support when doing so. Not bad for the price, but I would generally look elsewhere unless you don't care much for adjustment.

Pretty nice. Good price for a good quality chair.
Color: Black
Nice overall. Decent back support, but not really much going on there. Very sturdy chair and is comfortable. The adjustments are just enough to make it good. I would buy it again. rolls great. Easy to put together. perfect adjustable height. It works for my son who is around 5', my wife who is 5' 3 and also me and I am 5' 10.

Comfortable and good quality
Color: Black
This is a great chair value. It’s easy to assemble, height adjustable, and comfortable to sit on. It has a good seat cushion and firm back support. I really recommend this product. And I just ordered another one for my wife’s sewing table because she tried to steal mine.

Inexpensive and decent, without any negative qualities.
Color: Black
Easy assembly with spare parts and the one important tool: the allen wrench that tightens those bolts. The instructions were clear and the parts well marked in the blister-package that is sturdy enough that cutting through the edges of the clear plastic bubbles to get at the parts with scissors is the best method to avoid having to chase the small parts when they fly out of the ruptured package. This chair uses the "New" kind of roller which is larger than the old ones and I was able to replace the standard tandem wheels with the super-slick roller blade type that are much faster and easier to maneuver. I'm sitting in the chair now as I type and it's very comfortable, even if the back isn't adjustable. The mesh back is much better for the Summer here (where it gets really hot!) and is more flexible than the basic upholstered chair back, so it fits and conforms. The one it replaced had been reworked several times and it was still too small with the back not correctly aligned, it had fallen apart anyway and was easier to throw away in small pieces.
