Is this plant okay?

#AlocasiaAmazonica I got this alocasia from Walmart because it was so pretty, and I know I have to quarantine it but at first glance, does it look like it has spider mites or any other pest issues?

It mostly looks like dust on the leaves, but I’m not very knowledgeable on spider mites or pests except for gnats.

I didn’t realize one of the leaves was ripped off (you can see in the last 2 photos) until after I got home from buying it :(

It has been repotted into a newer, chunkier soil by the way.

At first glance, it doesn’t look infected or like anything is wrong. It just needs some clean-up, and it’s impressive to have so many leaves!
Seems fine to me. Alocasia are dust magnets for me, i dunno why. But otherwise the markings are prob just dried water spots
You’re definitely right quarantine under a watchful eye until you’re sure. A tip from personal experience… do not take it out of quarantine too early!
