Know before you buy
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to cats, dogs, or other household animals.
The Dance Queen prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the vibrant leaves.
Water your plant thoroughly only when the soil feels dry to the touch, which is typically about once a week indoors. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent the roots from sitting in excess water.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This acclimation period allows the plant to adjust to the light and temperature of your home, ensuring a smoother transition.
To keep your Caladium healthy, maintain an indoor temperature between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It is sensitive to cold drafts, so keep it away from air conditioning vents or drafty windows.
