Is she dropping? I recently changed her into a bigger pot (hopefully not too big, her roots were hella long so I thought this would do)

From what I can see, the pots too big and the soil looks way too soil-ly get a clear plastic pot orchid pot you can find them on amazon or a local nursery. For the soil, mix houseplant soil mix with perlite and you can add bark (like pine bark or orchid bark) for extra air as alocasia’s don’t like clogged up soil. Also make sure it dries out a lil in between watering
