So exciting, my alocasia corms are starting to sprout!! I’ve had these in small plastic containers with water, and then sphagnum moss once they were ready. The whole process has taken 2 months and there’s a long way to go.

Currently have 3 successful ones.. 🤞🏼

Progress below ⬇️

I how do you get alocacia corms?

They can be found in the soil of the mother plant. I was repotting the original alocasia and found 6 corms in the soil (they look like round bulbs)
