Celebrate All-Year Color with Caladium 'Spring Fling' Tubers

Bring a soft, romantic glow to your plant collection with Caladium 'Spring Fling' tubers. This breathtaking variety is famous for its large, paper-thin leaves that are almost entirely bubblegum pink, accented by delicate dark green veins and margins. Unlike many pink varieties, 'Spring Fling' maintains its intense color even in higher light conditions, making it a versatile favorite for both indoor and outdoor growers.

Please note: This product is sold as a dormant tuber. With proper care, it will grow into a lush, vibrant plant reaching a mature height of 30–45 cm.

Plant Care & Growing Instructions

Light Levels

'Spring Fling' is unique for its increased sun tolerance. While it thrives in bright, indirect light, it can also handle partial sun, which often deepens the pink saturation of the leaves. Avoid harsh, direct midday sun to prevent the delicate foliage from drying out.

Watering Requirements

This variety prefers to be kept consistently moist. Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry. For plants grown in pots, ensure there is adequate drainage; 'Spring Fling' loves water but will not tolerate sitting in soggy soil for long periods.

Soil & Fertilization

Plant in a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. To support the rapid production of its large pink leaves, use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks during the active growing season (Spring through Summer).

Temperature & Humidity

As a tropical tuber, 'Spring Fling' requires warmth to sprout. Ensure soil temperatures are consistently at 21°C or higher. It enjoys high humidity (above 50%). Indoors, it will appreciate being placed near a humidifier or grouped with other tropical plants.

How to Plant Your Tuber

Growing Indoors

• Potting: Plant the tuber 5 cm deep in a pot roughly 15 cm in diameter.
• Orientation: Place the tuber with the growth "eyes" facing up.
• Early Growth: Keep the pot in a warm, bright location to encourage the first sprouts to emerge quickly.

Growing Outdoors

• Spacing: Space tubers 20–30 cm apart to create a dense, colorful groundcover or border.
• Depth: Bury the tuber 5 cm deep in organic-rich, well-draining soil.
• Winter Care: In climates that drop below 10°C, lift the tubers in autumn after the foliage begins to fade and store them in a dry, frost-free area for the winter.

Expert Tip: 'Spring Fling' is a "Strap Leaf" variety, which means it naturally produces more leaves than "Fancy Leaf" types, giving you a much fuller and denser plant faster!
