Any alocasia is fairly prone to shock, so try to expect some. Id ask the seller how they were keeping it, light/humidity/water schedule. The acclimate best if you keep them nice and humid initially. Especially if the seller did, and after shipping

Past that some Mycorrhizal can help with shock symptoms. And Silica is a great supplement for varigated plants to help stop browning/scorching of the white/yellow varigation

Buy liquid silica, it’s a plant nutrient that keeps the white longer. Plants with a-lot of white turn brown faster.
