Can anyone identify this plant?

Greg says this is a zebra plant but I’m not sure that is correct. I got her from Lowe’s with a bad spider mite infection but she’s all wiped off with alcohol and I hope she pulls through!

Xanthosoma/caladium lindenii.
From Costa Farms:

Originating in the tropical rain forests of Colombia and Panama, this plant (also known as Caladium lindenii) shows off arrow-shaped leaves dramatically variegated in white. Beautiful when young, it becomes even more striking as it matures, producing more and larger leaves. A member of the super-trendy aroid family (Araceae), it is a relative of alocasia, colocasia, monstera, philodendron, and peace lily. Like many other tropicals, it thrives in warm, humid conditions.
@UltraKoreanfir thank you!! This is super helpful :) I love her already
