Can someone help me with my caladium. I got her a while ago and had to drive a good 2 hours in the car to get home. When put in my room initially she dropped a few leaves I assumed it was stress. Since then I got some grow ring lights and had her under that but even now she it still dropping leaves. I’ve just repositioned her so hoping it was a faulty grow light but maybe I’m very wrong. The new position is on the wicker basket. I live in an attic room so have two velux windows so 🤞🏻
I don’t know these plants really but I’d check for pests. It looks like there could be a little spider mite web on that top leaf of the first picture. Beautiful plant though!!
1 like I thought so too so gave her a check. I think it was just a regular spider web as I couldn’t find anything else 🤞🏻

I am new to Caladiums too and was quite surprised to learn that they go dormant in the winter. I bought one a few years ago and when it looked dead I tossed it. Mine is still beautiful so only time will tell.
Oh that makes so much sense!! Thank you

Needs more light. She’s reaching for it. The light is no good.
