Omg omg omg! So many corms in my Polly. I’m excited!!! What’s the best substrate for growing them? I’ve got em in damp perlite right now.

Wait. the cute little ice cream scoop pointy side goes up, right?

I currently have my Polly corms in fluval stratum and lidded to seal moisture.

P.S. the root “ball” should be at the bottom so the “pointy” side can shoot out leaves. Best of luck!
