Advice needed! New plants and I’m clueless 😀

Hiiii everyone, I’ve been itching to expand my plant collection and today I got 6 new ones I’ve never had before. After putting them in my Planta app I realized I had no idea what I was doing when it comes to caring for some of them. I’m also quarantining my new plants for the first time since I didn’t get them from greenhouses I know \& trust. I would really appreciate advice on how to help them thrive and also what issues/pests to watch out for! The plants in question are:  
\- Elephant ear (not sure what variety, I think the normal kind? Got it from the farmers market)  
-Swiss cheese plant cutting (rooted)  
-Philodendron Micans cutting (fresh, not rooted)  
-Pearl and Jade Pothos cuttings (x2, rooted)  
-Satin pothos starter plant from a cutting  
-Baby variegated Alocasia (dawn?), growing from a corm in a lil container of sphagnum moss (has a dome lid not shown)

The elephant ear has some weird texture on its leaves but I didn’t really see any signs of pests, I’m still quarantining it from the other new plants (which were all from the same source) just in case. I hoping it just got a bit chilly while outside at the farmers market and is being dramatic.

soo the swiss cheese plant im guessing is monstera is pretty easy to care for and propagate. pothos is SOOO easy shade/semi light and js repot when necessary. philodendron is like pothos but i little experience w/ it. and idk abt elephant ear sry
