alocasias are so finicky. it could be too much water, too little, not enough humidity, or the water quality (i believe most prefer filtered or distilled water). I have a black velvet that's finally thriving, but has lost several leaves on its way to adjusting and growing leaves. it wasn't as small as this when I first got it, but they definitely take time to grow strong and develop a healthy root system (in my experience).

Klare is correct, they are super finicky. I would maybe just keep giving it time, how does the soil look? It could be over watered
