Hi! I got this lil guy as a gift \& im a first time plant owner. The leaves don’t look too well \& I’d love to bring it back to life. Any pointers/tips will greatly be appreciated!

It looks like it was kept in to low humidity as those leaves developed. Keep an eye on the brown with yellow, it can indicate fungus. Personally id remove thet front leaf with it on it. And up the humidity around it, especially when its popping a leaf. Be it humidifier or misting 2x a day

Thank you so much! I did clip that leaf off. I purchased it from Target \& I’m sure they don’t water them or care for them properly
