Caladium 'White Queen': Quick Overview
Caladium 'White Queen' produces broad heart-shaped leaves with a bright white centre, strong crimson-red veining, and soft green margins, giving the plant a cleaner, sharper contrast than pink-heavy caladium forms. It stays relatively compact, usually around 60 cm tall and wide, and grows from tubers during the warm season before naturally slowing toward dormancy.
Bright indirect light keeps the white areas luminous without bleaching or burn, while high humidity and evenly moist substrate help the delicate leaves expand cleanly.
Use a loose, well-draining mix, reduce watering once yellowing begins toward dormancy, and divide tubers only when they are dormant or just restarting. All parts contain calcium oxalate and are toxic if ingested, despite the clean, almost translucent look.

How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level;
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none, whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.
