New to plant care☺️ Got this from Home Depot first plant for the new home. Need tips on how to take care of it and if I should repot it or how much water? This app doesn’t tell me much

    Alocasia like to dry out slightly between watering they don't want to be soggy or bone dry either. Repot when you feel they are root bound and ready for more space. That said sometimes I prefer to repot sooner because you never really know what state the roots are in into you see for yourself, I find I can't trust every vendor, plus then you can give it a custom mixture for the soil that will make them happy and match the environment of your home. Nursery mix is better for big hot greenhouses with fans and automated watering different in a home environment. Fertilizer and research how to treat spider mites, allocasia can attract infestation from time to time.
