I’ve had the most success with propagating in perlite.

Any container will work, l used an old Tupperware container ( I’ll add a pic) but I suggest something deeper. Once my corms sprouted I had to transfer them into something bigger.

Optional: you can peel the outer layer of the corm until it’s white but you have to be really gentle.  
Once you have a container, you want to add some perlite to it and place the corm in with the pointy side facing up (like you have it in your hand) and fill with water. Covering the corm about half way. Cover the container and set it under a grow light if you have one or any spot that gets lots of light. Every few days you want to open the container to let fresh air in to prevent mold/rotting. You may have to add more water.  
I hope this helps, you can also type “propagating alocasia” on YouTube and there’s a lot of tutorials that go more in depth.
