Actually Misty, I was able to tap on your plant card and your plant’s picture helped me! It looks like a Xanthosoma lindenii to me.

May I see a picture of the leaf from the front rather than the side in order to identify the vein pattern?

@planthoe40 I believe it’s already tagged as the correct plant! Xanthosoma lindenii is a synonym for Caladium lindenii ‘Magnificum’ 🙂 In that screenshot I attached before that had the text, the article said that this plant has been reclassified a few times so it has several synonyms that it is known by.

@hoyahead thank you. On another note I have a question for you about Leca I seen some comments that you left on another post. Can you mix Leca with soil and pot up a plant?

@planthoe40 yes you can! it’s an additive that helps to hold moisture in the soil.
