    I got these caladium from nursery a week back. The leaves have started drooping and the smaller leaves seems to be dead. I keep it near the window so that they get indirect sun. I live in Bangalore,India and the its mostly moderate temp here , not too hot not too cold. Anything I could do to save the drooping leaves ?

    That plant looks fine to me, the leaves that have died look like they were the first leaves or at least prior to the other big ones. As new leaves emerge, they should be bigger each time and the older ones die, that is natural. In winter this plant goes into hibernation and comes back in Spring/Summer. Hope this helped
