I have a very success rate for propagating my corms in sphagnum moss. I have several that are getting ready to out grow their container! Not the best picture but you can see the green spots ❤️🌱

Agreed. Sphagnum moss is the best

I actually had the same issue and I got some help from some very kind and beautiful souls. I was told damp perlite and a grow light can work, I’ve also heard and seen some others who have used sphagnum moss and domed it. I’ve also seen another where you can keep it a water bottle (if you’re seeing this thank you!)

I put 2 of my bulbs in perlite under a grow light a few days ago and I’m already seeing some growth from when I put them in. In your case I have heard that sphagnum moss is the best way to go about this, I didn’t have any and substituted it for perlite.
