Caladium ‘Miss Muffet’
Caladium ‘Miss Muffet’ is a compact and colourful foliage plant admired for its soft lime green leaves heavily speckled with bright pink spots. The heart-shaped foliage is delicately veined and lightly translucent, giving the plant a vibrant, almost glowing appearance in bright indoor spaces.
This dwarf caladium is perfect for tabletops, shelves and shaded patios during warmer months, bringing a playful splash of tropical colour without taking up too much space. Its compact habit and distinctive spotted foliage make it especially eye-catching in mixed houseplant collections.

Care Tips
- Light: Indirect light (curtain-filtered sunlight from bright east, west, or south window) or moderate shade indoors.
- Water: Keep evenly moist and never allow to dry out. Begin watering less in autumn, as plants naturally stop growing.
- Humidity: Keep humidity as high as practical. Place plant on a pebble tray or a humidity tray. For best results, use a room humidifier.
- Temperature: The plant thrives in warmth so try to keep at 20°C during the day and 15°C at night. Place the plant in a draft-free area of the house away from air conditioners and doors or windows which open frequently. The leaves will die quickly after exposure to rapid temperature fluctuations caused by drafts.
- Fertilizer: Fertilize lightly during the growing season with liquid or use slow-release pellets.
- Propagation: Mature tubers can be divided.
- Repotting: Repot when plant becomes too large, use well-aerated potting mixture.
- Special Care: Caladiums go dormant in the autumn and their leaves die back. Move dormant plant to a dark area that is around 15°C. Water once a month while the plant is dormant. When spring comes your plant will come out of dormancy. Place it back in its growing spot.
