Caladium ‘Pink’ – Plant Description

Caladium ‘Pink’ is a vibrant tropical foliage plant belonging to the Araceae family, native to South America and especially abundant in Brazil. Grown for its dramatic ornamental leaves rather than its flowers, this cultivar stands out with its vivid pink colouring that instantly adds tropical flair to any home or garden.

The heart-shaped leaves are paper-thin yet striking, with bold pink centres often highlighted by green margins or fine veining. The intensity of the pink varies from leaf to leaf, ranging from bubble-gum shades to deeper rosy tones. Each plant is unique, with the variegation forming painterly patterns that look almost hand-brushed.

Compact in size, Caladium ‘Pink’ typically grows to 40–60 cm in height, producing clumps of colourful foliage from underground tubers. It is a popular choice for shaded patios, tropical borders, or as a striking indoor accent plant.


Caladium ‘Pink’ – Care Guide

Light

Prefers bright, indirect light indoors. Outdoors, thrives in dappled or partial shade. Too much direct sun will scorch the delicate pink leaves, while too little light may cause colours to fade.

Watering

Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry, but avoid waterlogging. During dormancy in winter, when the foliage naturally dies back, reduce watering drastically until new growth appears in spring.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Best in 18–26°C. Protect from draughts and avoid exposure below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity for optimal growth. Mist regularly or use a humidifier indoors to prevent leaf crisping.

Soil and Potting

Use a rich, free-draining, peat-free compost blended with perlite or orchid bark for aeration. Plant tubers shallowly (just beneath the soil surface) in spring. Repot annually to refresh the soil and encourage strong growth.

Feeding

Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during the active growing season. Stop feeding once the plant begins to enter dormancy.

Growth and Dormancy

  • Growth: Produces vibrant pink heart-shaped leaves during spring and summer.

  • Dormancy: Leaves die back in autumn as the tubers rest. Keep them almost dry until replanting or regrowth in spring.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove fading or yellowing leaves at the base. Do not cut back healthy foliage, as it helps replenish the tubers.

Common Issues

  • Scorched leaves: From too much direct sunlight.

  • Crisping edges: Due to low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Yellowing leaves: Often a result of overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Pests: Occasionally attracts thrips, aphids, or spider mites.

Background and Benefits

Caladiums have been cultivated since the 18th century and are prized for their ornamental foliage. Pink cultivars are especially popular for their cheerful colouring, offering a softer alternative to red or burgundy types while still delivering dramatic impact.

Well Presented Concepts and Implementations (5th ed.)
Format: Paperback
Foreword: I have been running my own DNS servers on OpenBSD and FreeBSD for about 4 years. All of my previous DNS knowledge was obtained from the man pages and online tutorials. The book is great because the example network used throughout the book is built upon, showing you how to "grow" your DNS with your expanding network. The design and implementation presented is priceless and covers some of my favorite topics: placement of slaves, hidden primaries, building root servers, split views, daisy-chaining, forwarders, partial-slaves, address maintenance issues, etc. The pros and cons of each setup are weighed and best practices are suggested. If you like a generous helping of diagrams, examples, and tables as a learning aid, you won't be disappointed. One specific example of weighing the pros and the cons is presented on page 479 as follows: "Could we have saved a few bucks on hardware by using our external authoritative nameservers as forwarders, too? Sure, but that would have presented a risk." After that statement, they proceed into all the details of "why." There is adequate coverage on security. The authors preach defense in depth. An implementation example includes hiding your masters and only exposing bastion slaves. Securing communications between the masters and slaves is also covered in the security chapter using DNSSEC and TSIG. I think IPSec is another way to add a security layer, but that is probably another book. After reading the book, I started to implement my new DNS infrastructure and found myself referring to the index often. It is fairly consummate, however, I found a few things missing, such as the $GENERATE statement. Also, some of the configuration details were lacking slightly. For example, the order in which ACL elements are processed and how negated elements affect the processing outcome. Another question I had was, what would happen if an ACL name is negated, and what if that ACL contained some negated elements. Well I found my answer by actually trying it and verifying with the canonical reference docs on isc.org. I gave this book five stars because of its effectiveness in presenting the concepts and implementations of DNS using examples, good writing style, tables, and diagrams. If you're looking for the last 4 percent of the diminutive details of DNS, you will find it on isc.org.

Good DNS reference
Format: Paperback
The Book is a good reference for BIND9 DNS administration. Although, at this time, it's a bit outdated. It wasn't written to reference DNSSEC, or other new configurations.

Format: Paperback
Overall it was an OK book. I am already "competent" with DNS, specifically the BIND9 implementation but I got the book as reference material since the official documentation is a little sparse. The fifth edition (not sure about the others) even covers, albeit a little too briefly, how to deal with reverse lookup zones with subnet masks that do not fall on octet boundaries.

Thicker than I anticiapted
Format: Paperback
The encyclopedia of DNS books, meaning thicker than a phone book. I like the fact that this book is thick but so easy to read and follow along with. If you know nothing about DNS, this book makes it easy to learn about DNS. It starts with the history of DNS and then explains the hierarchy of the DNS tree. A must read if you want to improve your understanding of the internet and what happens under the hood for name resolution.
