Watering Day!! #HeartOfJesus #Caladium

Watering Day!! #HeartOfJesus #Caladium
Really Beautiful!
I’m struggling with my caladium! Do you keep it moist? Let it dry out? It doesn’t seem to be happy no matter what I do.
@MamaLinne I keep her semi moist, bottom watering works best I’ve discovered and have her at an east facing window. I have an angel wing caladium as well I do the same they are both thriving! Hope this helps πŸ’š
@4eva it does, thank you! When a leaf really droops- like lays down- do you have to cut it?
@MamaLinne I peel it off when it’s dry enough, comes right off versus the cut
@4eva and I’m assuming you don’t have to stake the leaves, if the care is right? That the stems will stay upright themselves? Thanks for answering all of my questions! It doesn’t act like any of my other 150 plants lol!
@MamaLinne no I personally don’t stake the leaves on my mine for the most part they stay upright or lean towards the light. I’ve noticed if it’s dropping real real low it’s just the life cycle ending and new growth pops up right away. And no problem!
@4eva okay great! I hadn’t repotted it out of the nursery soil and I think it was getting too dry, so a bunch of the leaves were very unhappy. I trimmed off the worst ones and just have my fingers crossed for the rest. I lost my first one to mealies, the jerks, and now this one seems unhappy. 😬
@MamaLinne We all have trial and errors! Good luck on the journey #plantlife ✨πŸͺ΄πŸ€žπŸΌ
