Help!!

#Caladium
I received this plant for Mother’s Day…. And some of the leaves are slowly browning. I follow Greg’s suggested watering schedule and light requirements. Does anyone have any other advice?!

Not following Greg suggestions is my best suggestion! The watering schedule especially, it slowly learns to adapt to your watering schedule. Use a bamboo stick or your finger to determine whether it needs watering or not.

It looks burnt I’d take it out of so much light and see if that helps. It might not be it, but usually the brown leaves means burnt leaves and or overwatering

I have this plant. It was in the not great soil from the store. I repotted mine and it went into shock but it’s coming out of shock and has grown 2 new leaves. I’m waiting for the older leaf to finish yellowing and I’m going to cut it off but I recommend getting into a better soil with orchid bark and perlite. They don’t like to be super soggy. I’d check the roots for a anything black and mushy. If so, cut that off and get rid of the rot.
