Why do the leaves look like that?
I've just adopted this little guy #Caladium hoping to be able to revive it. It looked so sad there, in the shop, surrounded by other happy plants 🥺
Any ideas what to do to help it get better?

He’s in pretty rough shape 🥺 but I would make sure that he doesn’t dry out too much, and that he stays out of direct sunlight. If/when he starts showing signs of new growth, I’d cut off that one smaller leaf. And when new leaves finally emerge, I’d cut the larger damaged one so that the plant directs more energy into new growth. 🪴💚
@saatwood and @PlantMompy, thank you for your suggestions!
The soil is quite wet, I would even say a bit too wet.
I guess all I can do for now is trying to keep it moist, putting him out of direct sun and cutting off the bigger leaf and 🤞🤞 it recovers!

@saatwood a small update: I followed your advice and cut off the bigger leaf. And now (I don't know if you can see it) there's something new appearing there! 🥹🥳
