Glad to here it's turned out well. That was quick. With all the jungle near you it's nice to read you agonize over your plants like the rest of us.
I picked up a few smaller Alocasia recently. Between that and all your plant posts I've been seeing many that need to dry out a bit even though they grow in environments like yours. I saw a post recently where an Anthurium was grown in a perforated pot by a well respected grower. I'm wondering if wood slat pots like the ones you have would benefit from a small air space between slats for certain species.
