I’m in the process of transitioning my alocasia polly to leca and I found a bunch of corms while repotting! Any tips for propagation?

awesome!! I place mine in leca ( I know sphagnum moss is popular as well), fill it with water and put under a grow light or sunny window.

I’ve tried sphagnum moss but didn’t like how leggy the stem was and had better luck with cocoa coir, perlite, orchid bark and horticultural charcoal for all of my alocasia
