Do you have it in perlite? Or something additional? I have some corms - silver dragon and another alocasia - in a prop box with just sphegmum moss and they are rooting and have little spears and I’m thinking the next step once there are some leaves is either perlite or stratum …

Just perlite I researched a lot of videos and it seemed to me perlite was more effective for corms and that option is shared by a lot of professionals plantsman’s

Just leave about a half inch of water on the bottom to keep the perlite moist and humid inside

Perfect!! I have been seeing so many different recommendations and was considering doing a perlite moss mix. I have a TON of corms growing now so I will for sure use straight perlite with a bunch. Thank you!

This is my polli alocasia corm I started almost 2 weeks ago and it already slightly sprouted
