White Caladium 'Candidum' has broad heart-shaped leaves with bold green veins, clean green margins and bright white blade tissue. The tuberous plant forms an upright seasonal clump, with its clearest contrast in warm, bright filtered indoor light. Pale leaves mark easily in harsh sun or dry air, so a lightly moist, airy substrate and gentle humidity are important during active growth. As with other caladiums, all parts contain calcium oxalate and should not be chewed by pets or children.
