I recently purchased this Alocasia Jacklyn and repotted it into a terracotta pot. However I feel like the pot is noticeably cold to the touch and I worry it’s going to affect the root health. Any suggestions on how to keep it warm? Or should I switch to a different pot?

Pretty much all my plants are in terracotta and they all feel cold (well I’d say cool vs cold but semantics) to touch.

That’s just how terracotta works - stick your finger in the soil and you should find it’s a normal temperature. If not, you have strange terracotta 🤷‍♀️
