Actually I found out within the community of “propagation” here in the app. How to you should type “alocasia corms” and you will be able to find a lot of info I just did after I post mine…

I soak them until the skin is soft then I scrap the skin off, kinda like peeling garlic. Once they are clean I put them root down in damp sphagnum moss so just the tops are showing then I cover them tight and put them under a bright light. These are the 20 corms I got from my elephant ear plants transplant

Oh you will! The elephant ear I took those from was loaded 😂 but the previous batch is doing great! You can see their tiny little green sprouts!! 🌱
