# Hi guys, How long do alocasia corms take to start grow roots and…

_Geplaatst door Vince op 2024-07-17_

Hi guys,  
How long do alocasia corms take to start grow roots and sprout?  
I’m propagating a few corms in moss (for about 15 days) and a few in perlite (for 4-6 weeks). The corms seem healthy but no roots at all. Any advise ?

putting them in fluval stratum got results in 1-2 weeks

I’ve only had success with sphagnum (+ a heating pad) and stratum worked great on its own
