Description

Bring a striking splash of color indoors with the Caladium ‘Florida Red Ruffles’ — a hybrid cultivar prized for its vivid, ruffled foliage that shifts between deep crimson, rose pink, and for

est green. Each heart-shaped leaf features dramatic wavy edges and intricate veining, making this caladium a true showpiece for tabletops, shelves, and statement corners.

Unlike many delicate tropicals, ‘Florida Red Ruffles’ was bred for a compact, upright growth habit, making it ideal for pots, hanging baskets, and smaller indoor spaces. It adapts well to a range of light conditions — from bright shade to filtered sun — and holds its color beautifully indoors, making it a favorite among houseplant collectors and gift-buyers alike.

Care at a Glance

• Light: Bright, indirect light works best; tolerates moderate shade
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
• Humidity: Prefers higher humidity (60–70%) — occasional misting helps
• Soil: Rich, well-draining potting mix
• Temperature: Best between 15–25°C (60–77°F); avoid cold drafts
• Dormancy: May die back in cooler months — this is normal; reduce watering and the plant will return in spring

Note: As with most caladiums, this plant is toxic if ingested — keep away from pets and children.
