Caladium

AraceaeFoliage dies back in autumn: store the tuber dry at 15–18 °C and restart it in spring.

Calathea

MarantaceaeWants soft (rain or filtered) water; brown leaf edges mean dry air or hard water.

Campanula

CampanulaceaeRegular deadheading often brings a second flush of flowers later in summer.

Chlorophytum

AsparagaceaeSpider plant babies on the runners root instantly in water or soil.

Cissus

VitaceaeClimbs happily even in cooler, less sunny spots – an ideal indoor climber.

Clivia

AmaryllidaceaeNeeds a 6–8 week cool (8–12 °C), dry winter rest to flower; do not turn it once budded.

Codiaeum

EuphorbiaceaeIts colours need lots of light; draughts or a cold shock make it drop leaves.

Coffea

RubiaceaeUse lime-free water and avoid harsh sun; from 3–4 years old it can flower and fruit.

Coleus

LamiaceaePinch out the flower spikes – after flowering the leaf colours fade and the plant ages.

Colocasia

Columnea

GesneriaceaeKeep it near 15 °C with less water for 4–6 weeks in winter to boost flowering.

Cordyline

AsparagaceaeBrown leaf tips signal dry air or too much fluoride – water with rainwater.

Ctenanthe

Cyclamen

PrimulaceaeFlowers longest when cool (12–16 °C); water from below and keep the tuber dry.
