Dropping leaves

Hi everyone! A few days ago my caladium looked beautiful, but today the leaves are all droopy and I’m not sure what’s going on. I watered it 2 days ago and it gets great light. Any advice on how to help it bounce back? #Caladium #droppyleaves #help
Hi! It looks etiolated to me, I think it may want some more light. It could also potentially have been over watered.
@Peachyhoyas what can I do if I over water it? :(
@Lechilechuga If you will take a skewer and slowly stick it down into the soil and pull it out slowly as wellin several places all around the plant it will leave little tunnels in the soil that will allow air to get down in there and help it dry out faster. Keep in mind these guys are seasonal and don’t care for fall and winter very much. I always pull mine up in the fall and repot the bulbs in the spring. good luckπŸͺ΄πŸŒΌ
@Ponytailmom thank you so much!!
@Lechilechuga of course! I don’t have as much education, knowledge and experience as many on Gregg but I have been loving my green babies for over 30 years so at least that’s something- I hope you have a wonderful Saturday!
