I remember when I was young, my mother used to have caladiums but the color of the leaves was only white with green speckles and red with green borders.

Little did I know that there are a thousand varieties of this bulb. It was only lately (after retiring from an office job for more than 20 years) that I started collecting plants.

This Sexy Pink was the first Caladium variety that I bought. It was priced at only ₱150.00 or roughly $3.00.

Since I love pink, I also planted her in a pink pot for an overall feminine look. *winks

This is how she looked 4 months ago, with only 3 small leaves.

I was surprised of how she looks now.. Oh how much she has grown! See her big leaves!

Maybe the reason of her growth was the area where I placed her. They say caladiums love sunlight, but not the full sun. 🌞

This spot is where she gets the bright indirect light.

Soon, I know that she will have babies. But before she does, I will give her the love of a plantmom she deserves.
