Can someone please tell me how I can fix this?!?!?😢😢 I believe it’s a colocasia.

Hello! Unfortunately, I believe this one is too far gone. The leaf will not rebound. It looks like it may have been in too large of a pot and may have rotted. I would take it out of the soil and look at the roots. If they are squishy, then there probably isn’t anything you can do. If they are solid, I would cut off the leaf at the base of the plant. Then repot in a smaller container with well draining soil. Pot should be about 1” or 2” larger than the surviving root ball. Then place in a bright warm window and see if it can put out new growth. You’ll need to be patient, Sometimes it takes a while. Water when completely dry. Good luck!
