My poor Caladium! I woke up this morning to this dramatic look. I gave her water even though Planta said not to for 2 more days lol

She’s in leca in a plastic pot with holes in a decorative pot without holes. Is this a good setup for her and I just need to water her more frequently than Planta says to?

Yes. Listen to your plants!

It’s a shame that the best part of the app is the other subscribers. I hope your pretty girl makes a full recovery!

You have to taylor your care to your specific plant needs. Planta’s suggestions should only be that, suggestions. You can change each plant’s care schedule according to what you notice in your plants. Weather, light, humidity, substrate, pot size, plant/root size, ALL make a difference in how often you should water. Planta won’t necessarily know your plant better than you do 😊 I use this app mainly as a guide and I do change each plant’s schedule according to what I notice on my plant and I find it extremely useful.

Thank you everyone! She’s looking much better now. 🥰
