It’s caladium seasonnn🤩 anyone have any tips for keeping them alive indoors?  
I ended up doing a repot on both since they were sitting in soggy soil, found out 2/3rds of the roots were rotted on one of them (one on left) hoping she makes it thru🤞

honestly, mine thrives on being neglected. i rescued her as a corm with no roots \& she's grown two leaves \& is popping out a new one! don't mist them, they hate it. just water when needed and leave it to sit near your window.

Good to know! Do you usually only water it once it completely dries out?

they like to stay moist but not soggy, which is unfortunate because mine apparently loves getting root rot lol. i water once the top 2 inches of soil are dry, and i keep it in a teracotta pot to absorb extra moisture. i test the soil with my finger
