looks like the leaves need some cleaning, a wet paper towel/cloth will do

I just got it so it needs some help

This looks like a black velvet alocasia. Alocasias like chunkier mixes and their soil to stay moist. You can also just use leca balls, perlite, etc. instead of your regular mix.

They defiantly need some care the coloring and formation of the leaves are off but I agree with a chunky mix! I do let mine get dry between watering and she gets super bright direct light and is thriving. Mine was a Walmart rescue. Alocasias also like to be in a humid environment. 50-70% humidity is their preference
