Ever since I got this girl her leaves keep coming out deformed, any ideas why or what I can do to get better leaves?

Mist the leafs as soon as they start coming out of the sheath (I mist every day) and that usually helps. Good luck!

Thank you so much. It’s been super rainy and really high humidity here in south Louisiana and it was right on the edge of my patio so I figured misting every few days or so would be fine but I’m going to try every day and see if that helps.

Ok! Sounds like a good plan!

That is not anything you did. This Mickey Mouse Alocasia (not actually an alocasia, Xanthosoma sagittifolium Variegatum Monstrosum) has varigation that impacts the leaves structure. It is very common.
