Not sure why it keeps drooping. It definitely didnāt look like this before.. I have now been watering every 2 days. Temperature is usually around 78 with 49% humidity. Any help is appreciated!
Every two days seems excessive imo. I have one in 50% soil 50% perlite and it gets watered once a week. Similar conditions as yours and it’s under a grow light.

Definitely overwatered. Sounds like you haven’t repotted it either since getting it? Highly recommend checking the roots and snipping any rot with clean scissors. Repot into a pot that’s an inch or 2 bigger than the rootball and give it a light drink. Calatheas do like moist soil, but not wet. I always determine mine by weight and shoving my finger in the substrate. If it feels dry about halfway down and about 50% lighter, I give it a thorough drink with distilled water. Usually once a week. Indirect light. Humidity around 60-70%.
