Do you know what type of plant it is? And how often are you watering it? It looks like signs of over overwatering or root rot

A caladium, I been following the schedule on its watering, and changed her pot and cleaned its roots, not sure what’s happening

Have you fertilized it? It could be fertilizer burn. Or the opposite and lack of nutrients. Or the watering schedule is too long or too short. Plants really give us no help in helping them 😂. It’s either one thing or the polar opposite

AhHhahaha can relate, I don’t know what am I doing wrong

Drop back on the water

Following the Planta watering schedule can cause overwatering unless you stick a finger into the soil to test for dryness. It’s a known issue.
