Been trying to successfully grow alocasia corms for the first time for the past month or so. Been seeing little signs of green, but this week, I got my first leaf!!!!

These are SO fun! I repotted a biggie and stole some corms to grow. I used the "mini greenhouse" trick and placed nursery pots in zip lock bags. I have about 8 that have all sprouted green leaves 🍃 They are the cutest 😍

Also, I found that if I didn't peel back the brown skin, the wouldn't sprout. Happy growing ! 💕
