Host a Tropical Party with Caladium 'Fiesta' Tubers

Living up to its name, Caladium 'Fiesta' tubers produce foliage that is a true celebration of color. This high-contrast variety features large, heart-shaped leaves with frosty white centers that are "splashed" with vibrant red and pink veins. A thin, deep green margin frames each leaf, making the central colors pop. It’s an essential variety for anyone looking to add a dramatic, artistic pulse to their plant collection.

Please note: This product is sold as a dormant tuber. With proper care, it will grow into a lush, full plant reaching a mature height of 45–60 cm.

Plant Care & Growing Instructions

Light Levels

'Fiesta' prefers bright, indirect light or dappled shade. Because of the high amount of white in the leaves, it is sensitive to direct scorching sun. To keep the red centers vibrant without burning the white edges, a spot with filtered light is ideal.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Check the soil regularly and water when the top 1–2 cm feels dry. Good drainage is essential to keep the tuber healthy throughout the growing season.

Soil & Fertilization

Plant in a rich, well-draining potting medium. To support its rapid summer growth and intense variegation, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 3–4 weeks from the moment the first leaf spikes appear until the end of summer.

Temperature & Humidity

This is a heat-loving tropical plant. Do not plant outdoors until soil temperatures are consistently 21°C or higher. It thrives in humidity levels above 50%; indoors, it will benefit from a humidifier or being placed in a naturally humid room like a bright bathroom.

How to Plant Your Tuber

Growing Indoors

• Potting: Plant the tuber 5 cm deep in a 15–20 cm pot.
• Orientation: Place the "eyes" (growth points) facing upward.
• Warmth: Use a warm spot to "wake up" the tuber; sprouts usually appear within 3–6 weeks depending on temperature.

Growing Outdoors

• Spacing: Space tubers 30–45 cm apart for a dramatic, overlapping garden display.
• Depth: Bury the tuber 5 cm deep in organic-rich soil.
• Winter Care: Once foliage begins to die back in autumn (when temps drop below 10°C), lift the tubers and store them in a dry, frost-free location for the winter.

Expert Tip: 'Fiesta' is a "Fancy Leaf" variety, meaning it has those iconic, broad heart shapes. These larger leaves act like solar panels—keep them dust-free indoors with a soft damp cloth to ensure the plant stays healthy and vibrant!
