    Planting Instructions from a 3.5" Pot:

    1. Choose the Right Location: Select a spot with partial to full shade. Pink Beauty Caladiums thrive best in shaded areas where they receive indirect light.
    2. Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter. You can amend the soil with compost to enhance its fertility and drainage.
    3. Planting:
      • Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of the 3.5" pot.
      • Gently remove the plant from the pot, being careful not to damage the roots.
      • Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
      • Fill in the hole with soil, pressing down gently to eliminate air pockets.
    4. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots. Maintain consistently moist soil, especially during the growing season. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
    5. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the stem to prevent rot.
    6. Fertilizing: Feed the plant with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
    7. Maintenance: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance. Keep an eye out for pests like slugs and snails, and treat accordingly if necessary.

    Pink Beauty Caladiums are a striking addition to any shaded garden area or as indoor potted plants, providing a burst of color and visual interest throughout the growing season.
