White Queen Caladiums

Post date October 10, 2020

White Queen caladiums are a hybrid developed by one of the pioneers of caladium breeding, F. M. Joyner – a postman in Tampa FL. White Queen is creamy white with green netted venation and dark red main central veins – very popular with consumers. Dominant eye removal is a must to control height. Makes a very nice pot plant but must be spaced to combat height. No. 1 or 2 size bulbs work equally well, but the larger size tends to have a whiter color. This is a great planter, basket & pot caladium – large leaves and distinctive pattern are real eye-catchers. White Queen is typically called ‘Pink Queen” in the industry as it tends to show pink as it grows due to light, soil and watering conditions.
