The Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’ is a beautifully expressive houseplant, known for its soft, heart-shaped leaves washed in shades of pink, green and white. Each leaf feels almost hand-painted, with delicate veining and subtle colour shifts that give the plant a light, airy presence. It’s a variety that draws you in the closer you look, with no two leaves ever quite the same.

Supplied in a 13cm nursery pot, this is a well-established plant with enough presence to stand out, while still feeling refined and easy to place around the home. Caladiums have a natural softness to them, bringing a sense of calm and gentle movement that works particularly well in quieter, more considered spaces.

Often grown for their foliage alone, Caladiums are all about colour and texture. ‘Carolyn Wharton’ offers a slightly more muted, romantic palette compared to brighter varieties, making it especially easy to style in modern interiors without overwhelming the space.

Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’ is a seasonal plant, naturally dying back in autumn and winter before regrowing in spring. During dormancy, reduce watering and keep the tuber warm and dry until new growth appears.

Care is simple: place in bright, indirect light, keep the soil lightly moist while actively growing, and maintain warm temperatures above 18°C for best results.

Styling tips

Place this plant where its delicate colouring can be appreciated up close, such as a side table, shelf or bedside.

The soft pink and green tones pair beautifully with neutral interiors, light woods and natural textures.

Works well as a contrast to darker foliage plants, adding lightness and variation to a collection.

Ideal for bedrooms, reading corners or calm living spaces where a softer aesthetic is preferred.

Care guide

Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’ prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its colour and leaf detail.

Keep the soil lightly moist during its growing season, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.

Avoid cold draughts and keep in a warm room, ideally above 18°C.

As a seasonal plant, it may naturally die back during autumn and winter. This is completely normal, and it will regrow when conditions warm up again.

Why choose Caladium ‘Carolyn Wharton’?

This is a plant for those who appreciate subtlety and detail. Its soft colouring and gentle form offer something different from bolder foliage plants, creating a more relaxed and considered feel. It’s particularly rewarding for those who enjoy watching plants change and return with the seasons.

Interesting facts

Caladiums are native to tropical regions of South America, where they grow in warm, shaded environments beneath the forest canopy.

Their seasonal growth cycle means they naturally rest and regrow, rather than staying constant year-round.

The name ‘Carolyn Wharton’ is associated with one of the classic Caladium cultivars, prized for its distinctive pastel colouring.

Not chew proof for little puppies
Color: Rings, Size: Small
Our first Chihuahua when she was a puppy loved chewing on this and pieces never came off. Our second Chihuahua I guess was a heavier tour and he was able to get pieces flaked off.

Great for teething puppy
Color: Pacifier, Size: Small
I was trying to find something very sturdy for our puppy that she could not bite pieces off of and this toy has been great. She loves it and it has held up very nicely. They are not soft so it is great for our teething pup. They are also the perfect size if you have a bigger pup like we do. She is a 4 month old pit mix. I would say they would be too big for a small breed puppy

Good size ball for my big boy
Color: Purple
My big boy loves this ball. He chews and chews and chews on it and it ain't made a dent in it. It's made a good quality rubber. It's got a squeaker in it. He hasn't managed to get it out which is not normal because normally he can get a squeaky out within 10 minutes. He goes through toys like I don't know what so it's being being a good. Really good ball. We've had it for about 2-3 months now and he hasn't been able to break into it and get squeaky out or even make a dent into it. That would tear up the the rubber

Sturdy ball, holding up well.
Color: Purple
I have a ball obsessed Shih Tzu. This has become his security blanket. He literally takes it everywhere and even sleeps with it next to him. Dexter loves any ball. All shapes and sizes. He will play fetch all day long if you let him. He doesn't know when to quit. It can be 100 degrees out with 80% humidity and he'll fetch all day long. This is a larger ball, I think just over 3 inches. It is entirely too big for a Shih Tzu, but it is perfect for Dexter. He came to us with a ball similar to this that he has since lost. He carries it in his mouth by placing his incisors in the indentations and lets it hang out the side of his mouth. Quite comical actually, but it works for him. We have bought him balls more for his size, but they're too small and he gets them lost under cabinets, furniture or any nook and cranny the ball will fit. And being obsessive, he will bark and carry on because he can't get to the ball until you come and rescue it. Difficult on our old knees. So he ends up getting the smaller balls taken away from him. The other night he was laying and chewing on this ball. It sounded like he was shredding this ball to pieces. I was afraid he would choke or swallow the rubber pieces, so I took it away from him. There wasn't anything wrong with the ball. It looked brand new. No chew or bite marks that I could see. I was impressed. It does have a squeaker, but I can barely get it to squeak and I have strong hands. A larger dog with a stronger bite force could probably easily make it squeak. It claims to have a beef scent to the toy, and maybe that is why he likes the ball so much. But I sniffed it and couldn't smell anything, which is fine by me, it won't have an obnoxious smell to where I don't want it around me.

Dogs love balls
Color: Orange
Most dogs love to play with balls. This is a ball. It squeaks and can handle a lot of strong chewing. Quite durable and a good size for medium and up sized dogs. (Honestly even smaller dogs would have fun with this).
