Gianna, a Caladium Gingerland, is something a little bit different, with green edges and random deep pink speckles giving her an almost leopard print pattern.
Caladiums are well known for their big, heart-shaped, leaves that provide amazing color combinations. Though Caladiums rarely flower, their beautiful foliage guarantee a colorful show year-round.
Native to the rainforests of South America, Gianna is a tuberous plant, which means her leaves will die back during the winter months and eventually go dormant. Don't worry though, you can save her tubers and once springtime comes around, she'll be back!
Believe it or not, Gianna can tolerate both sunny spots and areas with partial shade - basically, she'll be happy almost anywhere. Contrary to popular belief, if you want your Caladiums colour to really pop, some shade can actually help!

Gianna prefers indirect light to partial shade, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight wouldn’t go a miss.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
