Sad plant

Hi, new plant dad here. I bought some plants off Amazon and one of them arrived partially dead. Don’t really want to go through the process of returning it since the other two are fine. It is a Rex Begonia. Any ideas or tips how to save it? Thanks in advance!!
5ft to light, indirect

So sad! I’ll keep the Rex Begonia in my prayers!
Rex Begonia's experience significant shock from new environments. They do like about 55% humidity. I think that your indirect lighting is okay. Nursery soil isn't ideal but I would not mess with repotting while it is in shock, especially. Try to allow it time to adjust and then reassess.
@phytologyfan I will try this! Thank you for the information!
