Do alocasias like to be root bound?
As a general rule, alocasias are perfectly happy being slightly root-bound. This means they don't mind being in a cramped pot and needing to be repotted often. Oh, FYI that they can absolutely thrive if they're root-bound!
yap, its true!!!
Actually, this alocasia doesn't like its roots to be tied up. This plant prefers its roots to grow out and spread, so if you tie them up, it'll cause problems for the plant's health. You should move it to a bigger pot so that doesn't happen.
