Bring striking, artistic patterns into your indoor jungle with the highly sought-after Caladium 'Wayang' (also known as the Batik Caladium or Caladium bicolor). Named after traditional Indonesian puppet theatre (Wayang) and intricate batik textiles, this plant features mesmerizing pink, white, and deep green variegation that makes each leaf look hand-painted.
Perfect for collectors and plant enthusiasts looking to add a vibrant pop of color to bright, humid indoor spaces.
Key Features
- Stunning Variegation: Heart-shaped translucent leaves featuring vibrant pink veins, creamy white panels, and a contrasting deep green border.
- Unique Collectible: A standout variety of Caladium bicolor that acts as a living piece of art.
- Compact Growth: Reaches an average height of 12–18 inches, making it perfect for desks, tabletops, or plant shelves.
Care Instructions
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the delicate, thin leaves.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Humidity: Prefers high humidity levels (60%+). Regular misting, a pebble tray, or placing it near a humidifier will keep it happy.
- Temperature: Keep in a warm environment between 65°F and 85°F (18°C–29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and air conditioners.
- Dormancy Note: Caladiums grow from tubers and naturally go dormant in the winter. If the leaves die back during cold months, reduce watering and store the pot in a warm place until new growth emerges in spring.
