I just bought this beautiful Giant Elephant Ear, should I repot it into a bigger nursery pot, or should I see how it does first??

Unless I see an obvious problem I leave it in nursery pot at least until it's fully dry \& needs watering.

Check the roots. Repot if there are more roots than soil. Give it a chance to settle into its new environment a month before repotting. 🪴🍀

I'd wait a week or two, then repot. And use mycorrhizae to help with shock. Since alocasia love a drama moment
