I'm still fairly new to alocasias, but i think they might want more light

i have it under a grow light 😓

In that case they should do fine. They might just need to recover from any shock from being moved or repotted

They like high humidity, regular misting.

That one looks real cramped in the jar. And keeping the petiole submerged may end up with rot, so id keep an eye on it

do you think i should take it out and put it in soil?  
i was seeing if maybe it would help a bit with the humidity, but it has been pretty cramped in there

I'd at least prop up the corm. But ideally find a bigger container
