Why is this Caladium unhappy? It keeps losing the older leaves (they become droopy and then turn brown, some have brown edges first).

I have caladiums in the ground and mine do the same thing. I just think their life span is short. They are constantly sprouting new leaves so I just cut off the dead ones. Idk if that is how it’s supposed to behave but that’s what happens with mine year after year.

Try and cut the second oldest one so it gives it time to push more before one falls off

Omg! I have that same problem mine won’t go over three leaves until they start turning I don’t know what to do. I even moved it.
