I’ve been putting mine into small plastic tray liners with a tiny bit water and putting some cling wrap or another liner on top and letting them grow that way. Don’t put too much water, but keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t dry out!

I peel the brown membrane with a paring knife, then plant the corms in wet perlite and cover them with a clear lid or plastic wrap to increase the humidity. Make sure to position them with the pointy part pointing upwards bc that's where the new growth will come from. Also, while peeling the membrane isn't totally necessary, it does help corms to root a little bit faster (in my experience). Give them lots of light and they should start rooting in about a week!
