    Probably just a nice sale since shops are clearing out tropicals to make space for mums and pumpkins. For care, these like to be a tight fit in their pot, so crowding is fine. They like relatively frequent watering, which means you should be careful about root rot. It's normal for them to shock when moved, so don't be surprised if it throws a tantrum. Also with watering, try to be more even; it looks like you got the center well but left the rest bone dry. Water thoroughly, just make sure it drains properly

      I would add do not repot until she has acclimated, and I don’t separate my Alocasias it keeps them more full looking. Also they are heavy feeders so you will want to fertilize during the growing season.
