These new Alocasias arrived today that I bought from a garder from a far location. The plants were shipped and delivered and when it arrived, it had the following conditions:
1. Plant was shipped and stored in a sealed box.
2. Plant's leaves was covered by newspaper and roots were covered by plastic bag.
3. Plant was uprooted; when I received the plant, it had bare roots.

Upon transfering them to pots I observed that most of the leaves and stem are drooping and facing downward.
Generally the plant looks ok. The leaves are dark green.
The roots are white and looks very healthy.

I was wondering if this is an issue with:
1. Watering after the repot(i didn't watered the plant after I repotted it) since it didn't had water for 3 days of shipment or
2. Issue with the light since the plant was placed in a sealed box and travelled for three days with no light?
