So proud of you! I know how hard it is to keep a streak that long. Keep going and take care of your plant. Also first thing I thought of when I saw your plant was "that looks like a spider web"

Congratulations! And some basic tips: alocasias like frequent watering and a tighter than average fit in their pot. They can be vulnerable to root rot because of their moisture preferences, so a little drainage layer at the very bottom of their pot can help. They like consistent timing for how often you water. They tend to shock when moved, so don't be surprised if it throws a tantrum and sacrifices a few leaves early on. Watch the tips of the leaves for the earliest signs of over or under watering
