Hot Flash has bright shiny red centers and primary veins with a dark green to bronze border. It is quite beautiful with very showy leaves. This Fancy caladium is a sun to shade plant in most climates. Caladiums are also generally considered to be short term houseplants where they prefer bright light or a sunny window.
- 15-20 inches tall and 8-10 inches wide
- Annual except in zones 10-11
- Tolerates sun or shade
Care: If you live in a northern climate, be careful not to plant too early in spring as temperatures below 60 degrees F will chill and stunt plants. Caladiums like to be moist at all times so avoid allowing them to dry out. Fertilize at ¼ - ½ strength every week throughout the season.
Houseplant: Caladiums can also be grown as houseplants where they prefer bright light or a sunny window. Keep the temperatures above 65 degrees F for best growth and leaf size, and a pebble tray or frequent misting can help to keep humidity up around your plants.
According to the ASPCA, caladiums are toxic to animals if consumed.
