Description
Galaxy caladium brings a speckled tropical look to shaded beds and containers. Its green, heart-shaped leaves are decorated with pink and white markings, creating bright foliage contrast without relying on flowers. Plants typically reach about 12–24 inches tall and wide in good growing conditions.
In Alabama, wait until spring soil is warm before planting caladium tubers. Give Galaxy partial to full shade, loose well-drained soil with organic matter, and steady moisture while actively growing. Avoid saturated soil, which can rot tubers. Light feeding during summer supports fresh leaves. Caladiums rest when temperatures cool and are damaged by frost; in colder parts of Alabama, lift and store tubers in a dry, frost-free place or bring containers inside before freezing weather. Best suited to outdoor perennial culture in the warmest zones.
