# Rooted from a corm and now she’s almost 4 inches tall and running out…

_Posted by MissSandshark on 2026-07-28_

Rooted from a corm and now she’s almost 4 inches tall and running out of room — any advice on what I should do next and when? She’s my first corm experiment!! Should I repot her a little lower in this humidifier cup so she has a little more room? Or is it time to get her into a big girl pot? I’m so scared to ruin her!

Start with cracking open the lid so she can adjust to outside humidity gradually. Then take the lid all the way off. You can keep her in the cup until you see her roots are outgrowing it; alocasias like a relatively tight fit

She won’t need a repot for awhile. I agree with the other comment, allow her to acclimate to the ambient humidity. Good job!

Thanks you two! Anyone know if it’s ok if the leaves are touching the plastic lids? Will that cause rot or anything? Or is it harmless?
