How do I prevent the leaves from drooping? It usually sits near a window in my sun room. #Caladium

Caladium is sad I just got this caladium like maybe a week ago. It looked good, happy, healthy. Its leaves were very fragile though. I came back to look at it today and give it some water but one leaf turned completely brown, and the other one is decaying in between the veins. Please help, I dont know what I did :( #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #help #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #Caladium

I was warned and still made the 'mistake' of going on Palmstreet 🤣 & ended up with a #caladium (for $1? she was pretty, ngl) Don't they need high humidity, though? I'm screwed. Plus, now I'm broke 🤣🤷♀️💀😋 #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #newplantmom but there will be a plethora of wonderful #plantmail in about a week!

SOS #Caladium I've had my caladium for like a week or more, and since then it hasn't been doing well :( I did overwater it on the first day I got it and panicked, so I took it out, took the soggy soil out, dried it a bit and mixed it with dry soil. That was some time ago, at first I thought it could be stressed, but it kinda just stayed dying like that. Two leaves died completely.. I repotted it just yesterday and checked the roots, so I know for sure it's not rotting. Is it possible I'm underwatering it now or something?

Sos 💔 This is one of the leaves of my beautiful caladium. It is a small plant, hasnt had a proper chance to grow as it keeps dealing with THIS. What the hell is going on? I thought i was underwatering, but i bottomed watered it few days ago and just yesterday i had to take the soil out and squeeze out the water cause IT WAS STILL WET. So what the hell is up? The soil was moist. Clearly, a lot if it let out water when squeezed. I did crumple the leaf before i took a picture cause I wanted to throw it out but oh well - this like, withering, begins at the edges of a leaf and slowly consumes the leaf whole. What can i do? #caladium #help

Back leaves wilting….  My caladium is doing amazing! But the back leaves are not doing great. They feel like they are wilting and are curling on the edges. The top is growing to the grow light should i turn it and let the back get some light…. I’m not sure. #Caladium

My String of Buttons and Variegated (some type of succulent lol, will look it up later), are doing so well in this hot weather! I do have them in some shade so as not to sunburn them. I have two blooms on my Purple Heart! I planted two raised beds of caladium bulbs of all colors that I saved from last year and they are popping up all over with this recent heat. The speckled ones are my favorite. 💕 #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #succulentlove #jesssjungle #succulentsquad #caladium #purpleheart #stringofbuttons
