Any recommendations on getting this little one more full ...

In a 1:1:2 ratio of perlite:orchid bark:organic potting soil, but was recently repotted to that. Gave her a bigger home when I did that. The Greg App says not to fertilize but wondering what others have done.

I would fertilize personally. I don't know about this specific plant, but to my knowledge most Alocasia are heavy feeders.

I also fertilize in the winter as long as plants haven't gone dormant. I just cut it in half. Maybe start off with a really low dose and see how it does.

You could also opt for an organic fertilizer if you don't want to risk fertilizer burn
I have a normal Taro alocasia that I’ve been neglecting and she just keeps on sprouting out leaves despite no fertilizer and no light lamp… It’s so frustrating.
