Gemma's survival guide

Spinning crimson veins, vivid speckled canvas!

Caladium 'Carousel' is a festive, high-energy stunner designed to bring a whorl of vibrant color to shaded garden borders and sunny indoor nooks. Gemma features broad, paper-thin leaves painted with a creamy-white center, dramatically crisscrossed by rich crimson-pink main veins and splashed with dark green speckles along her ruffled margins. Exceptionally fast-growing from tubers, she creates a dense, bushy mound of high-contrast foliage that holds its vivid color all through the summer heat. Gemma thrives in warm, humid conditions with rich, well-draining soil kept evenly moist, serving up a playful, circus-worthy display wherever she rests.

How to care for Gemma

Caladiums are seasonal growers that sprout up in spring and start dropping leaves in fall. But fear not because when kept in dry but warm storage this beauty will grow again next year! Keep yours away from direct light as that will burn the leaves very easily. Once your Caladium has shed its beautiful foliage simply stop watering and let the soil dry completely. The tubers from which the leaves sprout are taking some well deserved rest in fall and winter to get ready for another spring of growth. Begin watering again in spring time 'et voila' your Caladium will sprout up once more. Here's to another season of growth!
