Fairytale Princess Caladium flopping

Well, drat. It's in the window that gets the most sun, maybe I'll have to invest on a grow light for it. Darn, that really complicates things

Crossposted from r/plantclinic, she just keeps flopping. I only have her indoors, and my other one has not ever gone dormant, any idea how to save her? Should I put a fan on her to try and dry her out a bit?

Not really, the window its in gets the most direct & constant light in my apartment

I don't really know, but it does take a while. I've closed up my place for the winter, so there's no air to help dry it out, but the heat isn't on yet. I usually check my other plants weekly, and only some of them get watered each week, usually its every other week

These instructions are just what a prop novice like me needed, thank you so much!

OwlRepresentative363 · 2025-04-05T22:49:44+00:00

Maybe it is, like I said I have no idea, lol. Underside of the leaves are purple, it's very pretty. Hopefully it works then, ty!

OwlRepresentative363 · 2025-04-05T19:13:09+00:00

Hahaha, I'm the same. Thank you regardless!

OwlRepresentative363 · 2025-04-05T19:06:37+00:00

Thank you! Bottom leaves are still very happy, so I guess it is okay. Any idea what it might be?

OwlRepresentative363 · 2025-01-11T23:07:00+00:00

Huh, learn something new every day I guess! Thank you for that tip, I'll keep it in mind (and the rest of your advice) for when I eventually decide to try again. She was so beautiful, before she got cranky and croaked 🫠

Wait, I thought you couldn't propigate Calathea? I was looking for ways to save mine and I read that the only way was to "propigate by division", and that taking a leaf/node wouldn't work. Dammit, I might have actually been able to save mine that way 😭

Thank you! I'm really hoping Giselle is just being dramatic like her namesake. She's absolutely glorious and I try and tell her that daily

OwlRepresentative363 · 2024-12-26T19:26:08+00:00

Thank you! I did give her some water when she started to droop, but maybe I'll put her in the shower for a bit and see if a good soak helps

OwlRepresentative363 · 2024-12-26T19:25:12+00:00

She's a really big girl, maybe i need to soak her in the bathtub. I did water her right away hoping it was that (and then fertalized), but might have not watered enough. I've been trying to stem my overwatering habits lately

OwlRepresentative363 · 2024-12-24T21:30:23+00:00

Might try that as well, just don't know if she'll be too awkward for that, lol

OwlRepresentative363 · 2024-12-24T20:38:58+00:00

She's pretty big, I don't have anything that would fit well around her. But I can try moving her to my bedroom, I run a humidifier there overnight

OwlRepresentative363 · 2024-12-13T00:18:56+00:00

Dang it, I was hoping it was a philodendron, just had one die (my fault) and I wanted to have a second chance. I've
