So many questions now I found the right people to ask 🤗🤗🤗

How do people get on with propagating from leaves?

I know they grow from corms but will cuttings work?

Pic of my babies just because 😆

Some plants can be propagated by just a leaf and others require a node or rhizomes. Unfortunately alocasias only grow from corms, or by division. If you’d like to propagate some corms there are lots of good videos on youtube that go in depth on how to do so. I’ve had the best results using perlite.  
Ps your plants are stunning 🌿

Makes perfect sense really thanks for your reply 🤗  
Kind of you to say, thank you 🙏  
The majority of other plants are grown from cuttings but all the Alocasia were rooted plants when I got them 👍
