# hellooo :) this is my first post because i have questions and don’t…

_Posted by Lex on 2025-05-22_

hellooo :) this is my first post because i have questions and don’t know who to talk to!! i have done research, but feel stuck as to what the next steps are here… and also what kind of colocasia hybrid this is…? i want my plant baby to grow healthy as best as it can provided my growing home skills!

TLDR: second chance, who is she, what’s the next step?

so i bought this when it had two medium sized leaves, fully black— it soon sprouted a third, fourth, and fifth. winter indoors i tried my best to raise humidity and light to her, but she soon drooped heavily, the center bulb (also a corm; i learned) got squishy, and the plant “died”. or so i thought? based off what i’ve read, people say this is normal?

so i kinda froze on what to do and let the corm just hang out. gave her a water and went on vacation— nerve wracking enough i come home to her sprouted runners.  
i was so excited that i had another chance and now i really want to expand my plant care for her (and all my plants ofc)

i figured they were fussy but apparently not? so i’m looking for some helpful advice :)

ps. pebble tray thoughts?  
humidifier on wish list.

Sorry I can’t give advice but I feel like this cultivar has mojito in the name?

i think so too.. it’s interesting so these all came from one bulb?

#### Dory replied on 2025-05-22

Or they put two or three to guarantee germination….?
