I found it at the clearance section at Lowe’s. I’m not sure how to fix it. It definitely needs a repotting but this is the first time I’ve a plant like this one. I believe it’s call a rose painted Calathea? Any suggestions to bring her back to health?
Big chop… if the roots are fine, thats the only way. If anything, the plant will love it!

Agree with everyone. I think a good pruning, removing all those damaged and dry leaves, and potentially a new, well draining soil mix. This plant also thrives in a lot of humidity so by humidifier or in a room that gets good humidity like my bathroom or kitchen.
