Caladium Raspberry Moon

Caladium Raspberry Moon Care Guide

Light

Caladium Raspberry Moon prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some morning sun but avoid strong afternoon sunlight to prevent leaf burn. Inadequate light can result in leggy growth and less vibrant foliage.

Water

Water Caladium Raspberry Moon thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or become overly soggy.

Humidity

Maintain a moderate to high humidity level around 50-70% for optimal growth. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting to increase humidity, especially in dry indoor environments.

Temperature

Keep Caladium Raspberry Moon in a warm environment with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.

Fertilizer

Feed Caladium Raspberry Moon with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.

Toxicity

Caladium Raspberry Moon is toxic if ingested, causing irritation and discomfort due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep the plant away from children and pets, and wash hands after handling.

Additional Care Information

Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix to ensure good aeration. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves promptly to maintain the plant's health and appearance. During the dormant period in winter, reduce watering and withhold fertilization until new growth resumes in spring.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing Leaves: This may indicate overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiencies. Adjust your watering and fertilizing routines accordingly. Brown Leaf Tips: Dry air, inconsistent watering, or excess salts from fertilizers can cause this. Maintain humidity, water consistently, and flush the soil occasionally. Leaf Curling or Drooping: This can be a sign of temperature stress, underwatering, or root issues. Ensure stable temperatures, proper watering, and check the roots for any signs of rot or pests.
