Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in fall and winter when the plant enters dormancy.

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings in warmer months.

Pruning is generally not required unless removing dead or yellowing leaves. Cut these back to the soil level as they appear to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent fungal issues. This also encourages new growth.

Caladium macrotites can be propagated by dividing the tubers during repotting or in early spring. Separate healthy tubers with at least one eye or bud and plant them in well-draining potting mix, keeping them warm and slightly moist.

Repot Caladium macrotites annually or every other year in spring before new growth emerges. Use a well-draining potting mix enriched with organic matter.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
