Hi! I just ordered and received this baby Alocasia and she’s not looking very happy - any tips on helping her acclimate? She’s getting enough light and I think the watering is fine, so not sure what to do

Plants get stressed during shipping. Leaves dying off is common after shipping. It can take weeks to acclimate to its new environment. Give time to adjust. 🪴🍀

I’m not expert but that doesn’t look like a pink dragon, looks like a philodendron painted lady. I would question the seller on this.
