It took me awhile for them to sprout and grow roots! I stuck mine in a take out container, filling water so half of the corm is above water and half is under. It’s important to give them a high humidity environment, so I stick the lid on and remove it for an hour everyday. It took me just about a month to see tiny roots growing, and another month for them to mature enough for me to plant them.

Idk if it’s just TOO hot here, but every cutting, I can’t do a closed container 😭 they rot like the very next day every time. I’ll try again in the cooler months.

I’ve heard it usually takes closer to 2 months. I’ve had mine in sphagnum for 1 month and a couple of them have a root. I also “peeled” the corms before I put them in moss

I may try moss. I JUST bought some today and made a pole for my monstera adonsonii cuttings.

Ive only propped corms in moss/perlite mix so with that in mind— in a month you may see some roots start to grow \& in about 02 months leaf growth by the third month you should have a baby leaf but that also depends on the growing environment. They love to stay humid so I kept them in a closed container (propping it open maybe once a week) \& directly under a light

Sometimes they start moving and shaking right away (like within a couple of weeks) and sometimes they take forever! 😂 The fastest ones I have grown so far are from my Micholitziana. All of the others are kinda starting to wake up and they were placed in stratum or perlite about 3 months ago. Some of them are still doing nothing. 😂 I think they like to keep me guessing.
