This time, I want to show you one of the regular Caladium, Caladium Polka Green. Or, Caladium Kampung! That's what the people around where I live call it. Ordinary caladium, ignored by many people, including lovers of ornamental plants. However, at present, Caladium Polka Green is highly sought after and in demand. In fact, the price is starting to be good so it's perfect for applying economic principles, I thought.

At first glance, Caladium Polka Green is very similar to Caladium Green Ice. However, Caladium Green Ice has dark green petioles with black spots while Caladium Polka Green is as seen in the image in this post.

It is important to know that Caladium leaves with predominantly green, yellow, white, or a combination thereof should be placed in a shaded area. Caladium leaves that are red, pink, brown, or a combination thereof are placed in full sun.

This is important, because Caladium is a heat-resistant plant. However, do not also place it directly in the hot sun. We recommend that you put it in a place that is slightly shaded from direct sunlight. Also, don't put it in too much shade because Caladium also needs sunlight for its growth.

Likewise, within certain limits, Caladium can also receive raindrops directly. However, if the rain continues to hit, the leaves will become dull and pale. Therefore, in the rainy season, Caladium should be placed in a place that is protected from direct rain.
