Large caladium leaves with patterned veining, 45cm tall but only 230g — tall and light, with big leaves on slim stems. The pattern in the leaf is what sets it apart from every other broad-leaf plant in the range.
Height is the thing to check. At 45cm it needs a tank around 50cm deep to sit under the lid without bending. It also suits a planted terrarium or paludarium, where the leaves sit above the waterline and the patterning shows properly.
Features
- 45cm tall, 230g — XL height without much weight
- Patterned caladium leaves — the only veined foliage in the range
- Aquarium or terrarium — works either side of the waterline
- No maintenance — no lighting, CO2, fertiliser or trimming, and herbivorous fish will not eat it
Care
Rinse under warm running water before it goes in the tank. Every few months, lift it out and swish it in a bucket of old tank water to shift the algae film that settles on any decor — never use soap or detergent.
Worth knowing
Artificial plants do not take up nitrate or oxygenate the water the way live plants do. They are for structure, cover and looks — your filter and water changes still do the work.
