I was gifted this alocacia black velvet and I repotted it because its soil was very bad and I found 4 corms! There was a few more in there that were very small but the 4 I took fell out of the pot right when I took out all the old soil. I places the corms in soil and now they are under a grow light with good humidity. Is there anything else I can do to help them grow and is there a timeline of when I can see them sprout? Also this is my first alocacia and im a little worried because they are known to be difficult are there any tips to get them to thrive? PS: the little green thing I found inside my philodendron split leaf hopes pot and I have no idea what it is. I planted it with my other corms. Sorry for the long message thanks for help in advance!!!

    My black velvet is the least difficult out of my Alocasia’s. I found they like a good amount of humidity, very bright indirect light, direct light will burn their leaves. They are heavy feeders so I micro fertilize (I dilute it with water) every time I water. Once I started doing that, I got a lot of new growth without dropping old leaves

      Ok thank you, right now it’s outside in a spot with a good amount of light but none of it is direct. It is also very humid and the other plants block any wind from hitting it.

    Keep it humid and it should sprout roots in a couple days, the corms should like the humidity also! I have a few setups I can show you if you would like!
