# Help!! My Caladium ‘Hilo’ leaf turned super droopy and is turning…

_Posted by Syd on 2025-10-06_

Help!! My Caladium ‘Hilo’ leaf turned super droopy and is turning yellow. The last picture is for reference of when I first got it. I tried the diagnosis part of the app and it’s telling me overwatered, under watered, too much light, not enough light, etc. So I’m lost and don’t want to lose his leaf. If anyone has any type of suggestions please feel free to drop whatever info you have. Thank you in advance!

Also I’m using a mild lamp on it and have a humidifier.

Like it looks like it’s burnt but it’s just a soft lamp 😫
