Caladium “Florida Sweetheart”

One of the caladiums sold in stores as a “fancy leave” variant. What does it mean? Some of the leaves are wavy and the leaves generally appear a bit more compact than other caladiums. The petioles don’t get very long and this makes the plant look much more compact and bushy overall than the other caladiums.
