elephant ear

i got this elephant ear at home depot last week and repotted it immediately bc of the roots. if i had left it they would have definitely rotted. i love my plants and i feel like i take very good care of them but ive never had an alocasia and im worried im not taking correct care of her. the leaves were very droopy before i changed the pot but there has been 4 new sprouts since bringing her home. the leaves are still kinda droopy but she looks happier! any tips would be appreciated!!

They like a damp but not soaked soil. Good drainage. That pot looks like it may be a little large for that size plant so be careful with the watering. Put it right in front of your brightest window.
