I just got this caladium bicolor and I have absolutely no idea what i’m doing wrong. I kind of mangled the stalks of the leaves on accident when doing a soil change (lesson learned, she’s fragile) but she was drooping before that from being brought home. Can anyone just tell me in detail how to take care of her? She’s still in her nursery pot so yes drainage, and watered once in the past 2 weeks since being brought home by drowning that hoe (iykyk). She is sitting on the same table as a humidifier. She sits in front of this sliding glass door along with the rest of my plants, gets sun from 6/7AM-7/8pm. I live in AZ so outside is not an option.

these guys are shade plants. i would move it to a shadier spot. your giving her way too much sun. they only like early morning sun then lowlight for the rest of the day. the browning on the stems makes me believe shes rotting. maybe the roots from watering too much? these guys don’t like too much water. they root rot when watered too much/often. i water mine once a month.
Maybe too much espresso???
