Hi I’m wanting to ask for advice about propagating some corms i recently found while repotting.

I heard fluval is good, however there is an overwhelming amount of different kinds on Amazon, which do you all use or recommend ?

I mix fluval stratum and perlite together 50/50 and put them in self watering corm cups

Okay the one I see is mostly for fish tanks

That’s the one. Fluval stratum. It’s used as an aquarium substrate as well.
