Has anyone on here ever cared for a Hypoestes plant before? My plant has pinkish colored leaves with different stripes of green and other leaves with different shades of lighter and darker greens.

Anyways, its leaves are drooping and its leaves are usually very perked up. I've checked info on it and it loves humidity so I mist it daily and water it when needed of course. It also loves bright indirect sunlight. I thought maybe that was where I made the problem...I put it on my windowsill and let it sit there throughout the day. Maybe it's getting too much sunlight?

Any kind of feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks
