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

Playful, hand-painted energy radiates from Dottie, a tropical stunner featuring broad, heart-shaped emerald leaves heavily dusted with hot-pink and magenta speckles! Fueling a full, leafy mound of vibrant new growth throughout the summer heat requires giving her prime real estate in bright, indirect light while shielding her delicate foliage from harsh, scorching sunbeams. Thriving in warm, humid conditions, this polka-dot showstopper craves a rich, well-draining soil mix kept consistently moist like a wrung-out sponge. Protecting her tubers from cold drafts and letting her soil stay evenly damp allows Dottie to bring an energetic pop of tropical color straight to your space!
