    Caladium humboldtii ~ this rare and unusual Caladium has been a bit hard to find over the years. It is one of the smallest caladium species I know of. There are two clones of this species and this one is smaller and more white than the other clone. Usually growing to 2 to 5 inches tall, the foliage is white with some green veins. I have not yet seen this species flower. Often used in miniature settings such as terrariums and vivariums Foliage: White leaves green veins Flowers: ?? Height: 2 to 5 inches tall
