So I have this plant and she's really thriving. Shooting out tons of babies. My question is, when a new sprout comes next to an already grown leaf, should I support the older leaf upwards? When I first got her, the first new leaf she got kind of pushed the older leaf down and it ended up dying. So right now I just have her supported with some chopsticks until I get her a trellis, maybe?
I have mine supported with a Phal stick and plant clips…🤷♀️

Cladiums typically don’t need a support structure. They droop from watering issues or insufficient light. Older leaves droop when they are dying off. I recommend placing it in bright indirect light. They can take direct morning sunlight. They can also take a south or west window with a sheer curtain as filter or placing them a little further back from windows with strong light. A grow light running 12 hours/day is an alternative. They do better in a smaller pot. Excess soil can hold too much moisture. They need fertilizer each month or diluted fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season. They need higher humidity levels. You will need a humidifier in dryer climates. 🪴🍀
