I accidentally over watered this Caladium a few days ago and she hasn’t been doing so well. I try to put her outside when it’s sunny. Would love any tips to save her life🙏

Maybe prune the dead leaves and repot to give her a fresh start. The sun might not be the best idea because it is drying out the leaves and not really the soil. Also maybe after a repot some water will help because she looks a bit dry.
