📌 Note: Caladium is a seasonal plant that enters dormancy in autumn or winter. During this period, it is normal for the leaves to yellow and gradually dry out, with the tuber resuming growth in spring. The intensity of the colors may vary depending on light, temperature, and leaf maturity. Leaves may show aesthetic imperfections caused during handling and transport, without affecting the plant’s health.
