I put my corms into a tubberware container full of perlite and keep it moist. I've had a lot of success with this but I hear really good things about using Fluval Stratum

Anything I put in a stratum mix rots. Not a fan here.

That's unfortunate! I haven't given it a try

I want to try Fluval Stratum. Do you have any brands ?

### Debbie commented on 2025-12-22

I’ve been trying them all and all are successful. Puddle and moss have been fastest.  
Puddle, just a “puddle” of fertilized water that doesn’t even cover the corm half way. Lid on for max humidity. Damp spag moss, put corm on top, put lid on. Stratum/perlite mix, dampen it, lay corm on top. Put lid on.

I have been using moss method and it’s worked really well for me as well

### Plant Novice commented on 2025-12-22

I also use the spag moss method with covered tupperware. Set it and forget it. After a while, you’ll see your corns sprouting

### Fyreflie1980 commented on 2025-12-26

Giving this a go to see what happens—one Lone Ranger is in a clear plastic cup setup with moss just to see what sprouts faster!
