I just brought this Alocasia home from the store yesterday. Is there something I should do to help with the transition? I’m completely new to this! Thank you :)

I’m not an Alocasia expert, but usually you want to let the plant acclimate to the new conditions of your home for a few weeks and then repot if need be. Best option is to research needs of the individual plant. YouTube is a great resource.
