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.

FAQs

Best squeaky ball for the buck!!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
my 90lb Pit, LOVES these balls.. and they have been lasting for months!! The squeaker is ok, those are lasting a week or two.. but that's better than average for my guy. At $4 a ball in the 4 pack, it's a great deal for a dog that loves a new toy every month .. I give him one at a time, the 4 pack lasts for many months of fun.

Durable and Fun!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
My dog LOVES these balls and barks with excitement when the box arrives. These balls are super durable and a great size that does not allow them to roll under cabinets and sofas.

Aggressive chewer squeaky ball
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
These are fun for about a day for my young Doberman. They tear and the squeaker gets dislodged inside the ball making it not so fun anymore. Have purchased multiple times bc they’re inexpensive but found one he cannot chew through now online Not for aggressive chewers sorry.

Spikey Balls Outlast Both Dogs!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
Our two golden-doodles have destroyed many of the chew toys I foolishly invested in. I used to measure their lifespan and durability in a matter of minutes. Shredding toys seemed their delight and specialty. Squeakers were often attacked with spectacular ferocity as if they were tests of canine ingenuity to find ways to get to, swallow, or otherwise destroy the squeaker mechanism. That is until they met these spikey dog balls with attitude. Our girls delight in chasing them down when thrown and have wearied themselves trying to figure out a way to chew through them. These balls have broken the household record for longevity. They've taken a licken and continue to squeak and delight our girls. Which delights us! Safe, great value for the money, cute, and the color has proven tough through heat, rain, lots of aggressive chewing.
