      There's several ways to do it. Make sure the tips is facing up. And you can put them in a shallow water dish that cover the bottom half. Or in perlite, or moss.

      yeah, like wolfen said, i put mine it like a small sauce container. i filled it with very little water (enough to cover the bottom), closed the lid, and forgot about it. i’d changed the water every couple of weeks to prevent rot and stuff.

    It does. I usually go by the rule of thumb, 2" of roots. And they go into fluval/perlite mix

      I love it! I grow my Alocasia corms in it, in tiny little containers that have lids on them and keep the Fluvall stratum moist and the corms will start growing roots and pop out of the top in about two weeks! It’s amazing stuff. It’s made for aquarium plants, originally. But I learned about it by googling it, as I had learned about it on YouTube.
