How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Caladium 'Frog in a Blender'
Caladium 'Frog in a Blender' is grown for irregular green marbling. Its broad, heart-shaped leaves can show dark green, lime, chartreuse and pale green in uneven patches.
The green pattern changes as new leaves appear. One leaf may be mostly darker green, while the next may carry more lime or pale green. New leaf stalks rise from the tuber as long as the pot stays warm enough.
When the leaves fade, the tuber rests. Water much less during this period and keep the pot on the dry side until growth returns.
Like other cultivated Caladiums, it grows best with warmth, filtered light and a drier pause after the leaves fade.
Care
- Light: Bright filtered light or bright shade supports growth while keeping the leaves protected.
- Watering: Keep lightly moist, then water again once the upper layer starts to dry.
- Substrate: Use a loose, fast-draining mix with some organic material for light moisture retention.
- Warmth: Keep the pot warm and off cold surfaces. Cool conditions slow growth quickly.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity helps broad leaves expand smoothly.
- Feeding: Feed lightly while new leaves are forming. Stop once growth slows.
- Container: Use a draining pot with enough depth for the tuber and roots.
- Rest: Let the foliage finish, then keep the resting tuber dry and warm until growth returns.
Common issues
- Marked leaves after handling: New leaves show recovery more clearly than older damaged leaves.
- Patchy browning: Look for direct sun, cold air or uneven moisture.
- Sparse growth: Often linked to cool conditions or root stress.
- Soft crown or tuber: Check the root area quickly and correct wet, cold or airless conditions.
Tuber division
Propagation is by tuber division. Divide only mature, firm tubers with visible buds or growing points. Small or weak tubers are better left whole.
Keep out of reach
Keep Caladium 'Frog in a Blender' out of reach of pets and children. The leaves, leaf stalks and tuber contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, digestive tract and skin if plant tissue is eaten or handled after damage.
