So for these two plants , caladiums and dark leaf Colocasia’s, does anybody have care tips? Mine constantly drop leaves and droop and lose color and I can’t figure out why. I believe with the black magic it may be a watering issue , but for the caladiums I’m not sure! Let me know your thoughts :)
Also, for context, I repotted them both today and gave them a light watering in case it was something to do with that. The root systems looked normal and healthy . Hmmm

0 Me gustaThat might be over fertilizing them! That’s an actual thing I learned that the hard way myself. The app should give you pointers on how often to fertilize them!
1 me gustaAs long as you’re fertilizing at half strength, that should be ok. I’ve been doing that for a couple months now (it’s what my favorite greenhouse said to do) and I haven’t seen anything bad.
