| Caladium bicolor | May 17 2025 | Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia |
I never thought where I would find one of the plants with a beautiful pattern in the middle of the forest, in the past I often found this plant displayed in the yards of flower lovers to beautify their yard decorations, and this finding is important and I also feel lucky to be able to find them in the wild far from human reach, I do not know their origin and there they grow alone, I combed the environment around where it grows and I did not find any others, I concluded that this is the only one that grows naturally in the forest.
I still remember when this plant went viral on social media, yes it was around 2017 where many women were hunting for this plant to plant in their yards, there were even some people who sold it on Facebook social media at a fantastic price, and I think that's reasonable considering this plant has a simple appearance but a unique and amazing color pattern, besides that I can feel the cool aura around them and I'm sure if you plant it in large quantities then the yard will automatically present a natural cool atmosphere.
do you like this plant?
If you are a plant collector then "Caladium bicolor" is one that you need to add to your list, this plant is definitely easy to care for and does not require a large planting medium, if you have a 2x3 meter plot of land then you can create a special garden in your yard that looks like heaven, or if you have a limited area then you can plant them in pots or polybags.
I did a search on the internet to find the names in various regions in Indonesia for this beautiful plant and I found a unique name, in one of the cities in Indonesia this plant is called "angel wings" and of course I don't know where the idea for the name came from, but I have to admit that it is one of the unique names for a small plant like this, this plant is already very popular in Indonesia and especially for flower lovers, if you are a flower lover then you need to plant this plant even if it is only one tree and believe me they will beautify your yard.
