I was wondering if this is normal for a caladium? Some leaves are straight up and others are drooping

Not sure on the normal part but mine did this and I had to put supports in for every leaf 🙄

Unfortunately these guys are not as resilient as other tropical houseplants. The lack of humidity will make the leaves droop. So I keep mine on my patio for as much of the year as possible. Then the bulbs go dormant in winter

I have a humidifier my plant room is between 55-60% and mine still does this sadly. I can’t leave mine out because the bulbs done survive winter in my zone.

I also personally don’t take my indoor plants outside because I don’t want to risk spider mites and other pests lol.
