Purple Alocasia HELP!

Any advice for this specific plant? I’m finding it difficult to gather information from groups and the internet. Please chime in thank you!

I can see roots at the drainage holes

It looks similar to Alocasia lauterbachiana. If so, the care requirements would be bright indirect light. Water regularly, meaning water well but dont let it sit in water. Make sure it has excellent drainage. If you repot it, I would just bump it up to a slightly larger pot, nothing huge.
