Florida Moonlight Caladium Bulbs | Fancy Leaf Tropical Foliage

Ghostly White Beauty That Lasts All Season

Florida Moonlight is a showpiece caladium bred by the University of Florida specifically for superior container performance and long-lasting color. Unlike many white caladiums that burn or become stressed-looking in summer heat, Moonlight holds its fresh, luminous appearance all season long. Each angular, heart-shaped leaf is pure white with a very thin dark green edge, spidery green minor veins, and a ribbon of brilliant magenta-purple down the midrib — just enough to keep things captivating. Bushy, vigorous, and full, this is a true collector’s caladium.

How to Plant Caladium Bulbs

Plant tubers knobby side up, 1–1½ inches deep and 8–14 inches apart. Wait until soil is consistently warm (65°F+) before planting outdoors — cold soil causes tubers to rot. For indoor growing, start in a warm room with bright indirect light.

Care Tips

• Soil: Moist, well-draining mix rich in organic matter
• Water: Keep consistently moist; avoid waterlogging
• Light: Partial to full shade; bright indirect light indoors
• Humidity: Thrives in warm, humid conditions
• Winter storage: Dig tubers before first hard frost; store in a cool, dark location until spring

Moonlight remains stunning for many months with minimal care — one of the most reliable and beautiful white caladiums available.
