Thank you guys for the input… since i have a lotta african mask corms i’m gonna try this experiment to see which works fastest : sphagnum, perlite, leca, pon, fluval stratum last one is classic water, then covering them with plastic cups to create humidity ! lets see how it goes…🤣 which substrate is the ultimate alocasia propagator🌱🌱🌱

If you have coco coir fiber - that’s worked wonderfully for me with another container to trap in the humidity.

Recommend keeping covered (if possible) to keep in moisture.
