Help Me Save My Caladium Bicolor
Hello everyone! This is my first plant, and I just want her to be happy 😔 I live in southern Florida and keep her on my east facing porch. Originally, I had her in a hanging planter, but I messed up and didn’t thoroughly water her when repotting, so the next morning, she was drooping. She perked back up a little bit and I left her alone for about a week until I noticed some sun scorching on the leaves so I moved her farther back into the porch…this is when I discovered I had absolutely drowned my poor caladium in soil. It was so densely packed and wet that the bottom of the pot was essentially mud. Also it seemed to be way too much pot compared to root so I decided to repot her into this 7inch ceramic planter using a mix of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite with an entire layer of perlite at the base of the pot. She has a new leaf growing so I know that’s a good sign but am I at the point where I cut all the floppy leaves off? Please help me any advice at all is appreciated I’m a noob.
