I think you just plant em. Like seeds and it does the rest.

I posted so here’s the final decision!! I’m impatient and decided to just do what the greenhouse I order from does with their pups!! Layer of perlite then sphagnum moss to rest in and keep the corms wet!! I’ll put a lid on it and check every couple of days!!

Fun!! I love growing corms! I actually just moments ago repotted an African Mask at my work and it had a bunch of corms in it. ☺️ It’s like a little treasure hunt. 😂 I have mine in straight moist perlite or stratum and I usually put some Saran Wrap over the container they are planted in. Some of them start growing faster than others, but they will sprout! Have fun!
