It arrives as a small plant, and young leaves may show the occasional pink spot, which is perfectly natural. Plant it into warm, humid shade soon after it arrives, and keep it away from frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailability of the tube varies, because it comes from our grower rather than from our own shelves, so it is not always available. When it shows as sold out there is none ready, and the notify button on this page emails you the day it is back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.

Caladiums love humid air, so spritz the foliage daily indoors, keep the plant out of draughts and away from heaters, and water regularly through the first 12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a houseplant or a garden plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth. It grows outdoors in humid, shady, frost free gardens, and as a houseplant in a well lit room elsewhere. In cooler climates, grow it in a pot so it can come indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Nursery Near Me","offers":[{"title":"Tube (Backorder)","offer_id":67790190969151,"sku":"CAL-BIC-WHITEL-tube","price":21.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2917\/5359\/files\/white-lace-angel-wings-caladium-bicolor-white-lace.jpg?v=1792195816","url":"https:\/\/nurserynearme.com.au\/products\/white-lace-angel-wings-caladium-bicolor-white-lace","provider":"Nursery Near Me","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
