Not disagreeing at all with advice given.
Welcome! to the site, where you get the truth from very experienced, if not to say even professional level growers here.
I am not as experienced as Gina, but have grown a couple species, mostly as outdoor plants, because when indoors, for me, they always, sooner or later, get spider mites. I live 'next' to you in MD so we share climate. Mine are MUCH happier outside, shade or sun as acclimated, with lots of water in frost free weather.

But if you have a big clear bag like 'dry cleaners' bag, like a dress bag when you buy a fancy dress, you might try gently and loosely covering the whole plant. Don't seal it, but to slow the water loss from leaves.

And next time, show us the problem before going all out. Thumbs up maybe we can save you the trauma. Smiling
Plant it and they will come.
