I’m propagating a corm in fluval stratum and it’s developing the brown skin that I already peeled off. Is that normal?

Yep, that’s normal. At least in my experience. They love the humidity so if I were u I would mist it and put some plastic wrap over the top. She will love you for it. 💚

It’s in a makeshift cloche, just open it for a minute once day and to take this photo :)

Perfect!! I recently had a corm FINALLY start growing after 4 months of inactivity. It developed a brown skin also.

Was it a Polly? I bought a pink Polly corm!

Yes, actually. Ohhh, a pink Polly. 😍
