My first corm is sprouting. Not sure why the others aren't but I'm proud of this learning experience. I might experiment with different mediums in the future but from what I've read online perlite is the most affective. What works best for you when planting corms?

    I never have luck with these in general for some reason. Maybe try moist sphagnum moss in a sealed container

    I’ve had success sprouting corms in moss. :)

    I’m with both of the above 👆 I do damp moss, nestle the corms into the top (not fully covered), and then lid. I open it every few days for some air flow, and mist every few weeks to maintain humidity. I leave them in there till I have 1-2 leaves. Clear take-out containers work really well :)
