Spicy Lizard is a medium (12-18") caladium with a leaf size of a hand, that thrives in partial shade, but tolerates longer exposure to sunlight.How to care for CaladiumIndoors or out, caladiums are seasonal tuberous plants that grow foliage from spring into autumn, peaking in the summer. Plant these tubers in the springtime after the threat of frost has passed. Outside, Caladium plants prefer indirect light or moderate shade indoors. The narrower the leaves, the greater the amount of sun they can withstand. When grown indoors, they do best with lots of heat, bright but indirect light, and plenty of humidity. Even under the best conditions, caladium foliage lasts only a few months before the leaves start to die back and the plant goes dormant again, which is normal. Plant caladium in rich, well-drained soil in the garden or in potting mix for containers. Water as needed to keep the soil evenly moist. Never let the plant dry out, as leaves may yellow and drop. Stop watering the plant when the leaves start to die back. Resume watering in spring after winter dormancy. New leaves will reappear as temperatures warm.Caladium care tipsCut off any spathe as soon as they appear to ensure that all of the plants' energies are used for their gorgeous leaves. Caladiums' rest period comes in the autumn or winter. Their rest period isn't determined by temperature or light cycle, but by how long the plants have been growing. The warmer the air and ground temperatures, the faster caladium will grow indoors and out. However, they are known as slow-growing plants.
