Hey y’all! So ive had this elephant ears for a while now but all of a sudden some of the leaves are turning brown and yellowish. Even on a new leaf that hasn’t even blossomed yet! Idk what’s happening. It doesn’t look like it has any bugs, it’s in my window, and I water it around every four days if needed. Please tell me any suggestions on how to save it!!

How is the humidity level and do you allow the top soil to dry before watering?

The humidity is pretty low and yes I do allow the top soil to dry before watering.

These are Caladiums, I have some of the same kind, they love humidity so spraying them every once in a while might help the leaves get more life in them. I also just started putting coffee grounds in the pot around them, as a slow releasing nitrogen fertilizer, and they look better than ever. Also sometimes they can soak up water pretty quickly so might just need to water a bit more. Good luck I hope that helps!
