# my caladium is doing great with an exception of this one leaf i'm not…

_Posted by Karis on 2024-07-27_

my caladium is doing great with an exception of this one leaf i'm not sure why it's the only one dropping. There is a much larger leaf that stands tall along with other smaller leaves but the one just won't stop dropping i put it closer to the window , gave it water and just not sure what the problem could be. not sure why it's not happening to the other leaves.

I just cut mine off when they droop lol. If there’s new growth with old leaves dying that’s normal

it's sprouting like no other i have 2 new sprouts currently but it seems like it's always has something new lol

U don’t need to be concerned about single leaves being droopy I have 6 of them it’s just their lifecycle. If they bother you they can be cut off or they will dry up and fall off eventually. Hope this helps 💚
