Just picked up the silver dragon. It’s all sideways and misaligned. Feels very loose in the pot. Should I repot asap or wait until it acclimates to my house?
Any tips on straightening it out?

You can acclimate it if you want but in my experience it didn’t matter for a single plant i got, as soon as i get a plant i just want to get rid of the nursery soil and put a reasonably sized lot for the plant. So what i recommend you to do is repot it to a smaller pot and try not to disturb the roots much and put a chunkier soil mix for it and this pot is way too big for it and it may not be root bound but if you did the above it will reward you with fast new growth
May I also suggest more light. I was surprised at how much light this particular Alocasia can handle.
The soil looks pretty chunky. You can wait a little while and then move it to a smaller pot, but just take off any extra soil without disturbing the roots.
Went ahead and repotted it in a smaller pot. And found some corns aswell!
