I got her pretty recently, and I made another post about how much light I should be giving her. She’s been in a south facing window that gets 6+ hours of sun daily, and I’ve been watering her when she’s dry. Now the leaves are doing this. Is she just being dramatic or could there be an issue?
Humidity in my apartment sits at around 40% which I know is pretty low, but I honestly don’t love a super humid environment for myself.
Edit: I did repot soon after getting it because the soil was super dense!

Most likely (still) acclimating to your home.
It’s normal to lose leaves for a couple of months.
However, you should check the roots
THESE ARE MY FAVORITE PLANT! if it’s popping out a new leaf, it’s normal to see an older one die. everytime i see a yellow/brown spot i know im going to get a new, bigger leaf soon. as some have said, yes, it is still acclimating and trying to come out of stress from repotting so this may be the cause of two leaves drooping rather than one. good job getting it out the dense soil and into something chunky but make sure you don’t over water it now, stick your finger in the soil and if the soil is dry past your 2nd finger knuckle: light feed (everytime) and water. it needs A LOT of sunlight to thrive and keep the variegation pretty, if you don’t have sheer curtains for filtered light set it 2ft away from your window. i have all mine under grow lights! hope this helps!
