Description
(Fancy Leaf) Great foliage makes for a great container combination! Heart to Heart™ ‘Bottle Rocket’ Caladium features pale pink foliage with hot pink veining that extends to the edge of the leaf with green edging. The heart shaped leaves form an upright mounding habit standing 18-24 inches tall and 10-14 inches wide. Heart to Heart™ ‘Bottle Rocket’ prefers to be grown in full shade to part sun locations. Caladiums generally do not like to be colder than 50 degrees so plant accordingly to your location. Caladiums are extremely heat tolerant, but we do recommend watering regularly keeping the soil moist but not wet. Heart to Heart™ ‘Bottle Rocket’ Caladium is a great thriller for combination planters, or mix in your annual and perennial beds for a colorful leafy addition. Once your warm weather season is over (in the North), Heart to Heart™ ‘Bottle Rocket’ can be brought indoors to be enjoyed as a houseplant. Make sure to keep it in a bright sunny location with temperatures around 65 degrees. Beautiful indoors or out, let Heart to Heart™ ‘Bottle Rocket’ bring joy and color to your home and garden.

Reviews
I hate to get bad reviews but it's not a healthy plant. It was root bound. I lost a lot of leaves trying to save this plant. I've spoke to the owner. I originally thought that it was the wrong plant because the coloring of the plant did not look like the image that was on their website. I'm just not happy. I have a little piece of the plant left. I'm not even going to bother asking for a refund. I know that they'll come up with some type of excuse so I'm just stuck with it.
