How often do you check for corns? I would love to add an alocasia to my collection!

This is my first time owning Alocasia, I’ve only had these two about 3 months. I dug around while repotting them when I first got them. I don’t really know how often you can/should go corm hunting, but I’ve seen some people say every year 🤷🏽‍♀️

Although, I do have a Black Velvet that didn’t have any corms when I repotted it 3 months ago as well and has formed two corms at the soil surface since then!
