The dimensions of the pot, the kind of soil it is planted in, the growing environment, and the atmosphere in your house.<br> 2. To allow extra water to easily drain out of the pot, make sure the container it is planted in has at least one drainage hole. this keeps water from accumulating at the bottom, which could cause root rot.<br> 3. slightly acidic soil with a good drainage system and high organic matter to thrive. You can add compost, manure, or leaf mold to the potting mix to provide the plant with more nutrients it needs.<br> 4. Make use of a slow-releasing fertilizer that is well-balanced and has equal amounts of potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen. A good and suggested ratio is 20:20:20, 10:10:10, or 5:5:5. Steer clear of overfertilizing and cut back on fertilizer application in the winter and fall.

Dos

Steer clear of places where it will be exposed to the intense afternoon sun. When the top 25 percent of the soil is dry, water your caladium. To avoid root rot, give the plant a good watering and be sure to remove any extra water from the saucer. Water very little during the winter months when the plant is dormant to give it time to recuperate.

Don'ts

The leaves' margins will begin to crisp up due to the very dry air.
