I just ordered an alocasia corm to grow one for the first time! I hope it’s not too hard 😅 Of course, I had to dive into the deep end with a variegated frydek corm lol. I’ve grown several colocasia and caladiums from bulbs before, but they’re easier if I’m not mistaken. I failed at an alocasia flying squid in the past, but I blame that on not knowing it had a death mesh 😬 Wish me luck I guess lol 🍀 I’m super excited

Not sure what medium you’re going to grow in but I’ve had a lot of success with fluval stratum!

I’ve got that! Thanks to my betta fish for sharing some with my plants 😂 Awesome!
