Dottie's survival guide

Playful pink speckles, rich emerald backdrop!

Caladium 'Freckles' brings a fun, energetic pop of color to shaded landscape beds and sunlit indoor spots. Dottie features broad, heart-shaped leaves of deep emerald green, heavily dusted with a charming wash of hot-pink and magenta speckles that look hand-painted. Built to withstand warm, humid conditions, she rapidly sends up new growth from tubers to form a full, leafy mound that stays vibrant through the summer heat. Dottie thrives in bright indirect light, warm temperatures, and rich, well-draining soil kept consistently moist, offering a unique, polka-dot twist on classic tropical foliage.

How to care for Dottie

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!
