# Any advice on how to help the corms from my alocasia root and grow?…

Any advice on how to help the corms from my alocasia root and grow? Recently just repotted my alocasia, I got it least year and repotted it and it produce five corms. I currently have it in a soil mix that has potting soil and peat moss. Thanks in advance!

i love this question. i recently just propagated my alocasia poly corms. after doing a lot of research i found that it helps to scrape off the outer shell (brown stuff) on the outside of the corm. they thrive in HIGH humidity, so i found success with putting them in a shallow pool of purified water inside of a closed container in your window sill! It may take a few weeks to see any growth, but trust me it works! tip: change out the purified water every week or so, to prevent any mold or rot!

“Wandering dude” is a new common name for it :)

I've had AMAZING results putting my corms in stratum. I just put about an inch of moist stratum in the bottom of an old Chobani yogurt cup, nestle the (scraped) corms in there \& put another Chobani cup on top to hold in the humidity. Good luck to you!
