3” Caladium Hilo Beauty

Caladium ‘Hilo Beauty’ (Often Sold as Alocasia ‘Hilo Beauty’)

The Caladium ‘Hilo Beauty’ is a stunning tropical foliage plant known for its bold, painterly leaves and dramatic green marbling. Each leaf displays a unique mix of light and dark green patterns, creating a camouflage-like effect that makes every plant one-of-a-kind.

This plant is often sold in the trade under the name Alocasia ‘Hilo Beauty’, but it is botanically a Caladium, grown from tubers rather than a true Alocasia. Despite the naming confusion, it delivers the same tropical, high-impact look that makes it a favorite among collectors.

During its active growing season, Hilo Beauty produces lush, vibrant foliage that instantly elevates any indoor plant display or shaded outdoor space.

Plant Care:

• Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates partial shade
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist during active growth; do not let it fully dry out
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity
• Temperature: Best in warm conditions (70–85°F); protect from cold
• Dormancy Note: May naturally die back to the tuber in cooler seasons—this is normal and part of its growth cycle
• Pet Friendly: No. Toxic if ingested by pets or humans

Please Note: This plant is commonly mislabeled in the trade. While often sold as an Alocasia, it is correctly classified as a Caladium.
