# These corms fell out of my rescue Alocasia but I don’t have any…

_Posted by Jobieeeee on 2024-05-12_

These corms fell out of my rescue Alocasia but I don’t have any experience with them. I don’t even know if they’re okay to use. Can someone point me in the right direction for propagating/planting it. Please and thank you!! 🙏

I gathered some pics to show u how I recently grew a few corms. It was my first experience but it worked!! I acquired 3 Alocasia Longiloba corms in November. I didn’t want to plant them yet so I wrapped them in newspaper and put them in a dark cupboard until I was ready to plant them. I purchased stratum (I bought Fluval brand). I thrifted an air tight jar and put stratum in the bottom. I put the corms halfway in the stratum so that the pointy end is pointed up and sticking out. I filled the bottom with water to just below the top of the stratum. I misted the jar and covered it with the top to keep the humidity in. I put mine on a seedling heat mat but u don’t have to. And just watched it grow roots and then leaves in amazement. Once the leaves hit the top of the jar I left the top off. Now it’s time to plant!! Pics to follow. Good luck!

I would plant all of them (if u want that many…lol!). Sphagnum should work just as well. I’m excited to see ur results!

If you don’t want to grow then right now you can just put them back in the soil and they will eventually sprout into new plants

Thank you for the advice! I actually planted all of them out of excitement. 😂😂
