Propagating Alocasia Polly from harvested corms bulbs.
In this video I take my poor Polly apart in search of corms bulbs (whatever you want to call them) so I can propagate them. I have no idea what I am doing but wanted to experiment! Which I did with SUCCESS! I learned a lot and share how I harvest the corms/bulbs and got my corms to produce tiny baby Pollies!
Hope you enjoy this video! If you do subscribe and comment below!

Plan to do an update video this weekend!
Your video is amazing. It wasn't professionally edited, it didn't have all those fancy lighting and stands, and yet you connected with your intended audience very well. I liked how you said it was a journey, and showed mother polly dying at the end of the video. Loved that you provided a 6mth update. I'm waiting for my 5 Alocasia nobilis corms to sprout like yours, following your advice. Would let you know how mine will be like in a couple months. Hello from Singapore!
Mother Polly Lives! On a plant group I was informed that maybe she was fping into hibernation. So I decided to check her roots which were alive and healthy. O cleaned out the rotten ones found more corms! And separated it. I replanted in clean pots and put in new soil and it's growing back. I should do update video :) those new corms have grown too now
@@deenaisvlogging266 can't wait for your alocasia polly update!
I put mine in a shallow dish with fluval stratum at the bottom. I halfway submerge them into it then surround each with and sphagnum moss. I keep the dish covered to make greenhouse and place under grow lights. It speeds up the root growth process.
Love it! I love experimenting with plants. I have done some really interesting things with growing plants from vegetables I bought at the grocery store (tomatoes and green peppers to be exact) I have done other things too but recently, I have been experimenting on different generations created from one tomato that was NOT organic from the grocery store. I am onto the 3rd generation. My biggest success was growing them all winter using hydroponics- I really need to start videoing these things. It's actually really interesting the difference each generation looks like- Totally can tell in the first generation where they were alternated from.
So beautiful plant's❤😊
Thank you!
First of all, I like your voice. What a beautiful Alocasia plant you have....😍😍😍😍😍😍
I like the little baby plants, too !!!! ☺️
Thanks so much! The mom plant is back in full force after looking like she died. She just went into dormant for awhile and now is as good as ever and the baby ones that survived or doing great. I would replant them into bigger pots they are pretty big now. I really need to do an update. haha
@@deenaisvlogging266 yessssss please !!!!! ☺️
Hi Deena!! I know how it feels to find corms, it made me chuckle when you said that because it makes me so excited too ☺️ I’ve had great success with the shallow water method but my roots grew much quicker than yours. The corms are slightly calloused when we find them in the dirt so before putting them in the water dish I gently scrape off the dark brown sheath under running water and then place them in the water just like you demonstrated and my roots grew in much quicker. I’m wondering if the brown sheath slows down the growth of roots because it may act as a barrier. Not sure but just wanted to share that with you in case you’re interested.
I agree!! Same happens with Avocado nuts! Peel the brown skins off the pit and it grows way quicker and better. Interestingly also is my corms that were newer and had no film over them, those ones grew right away and faster and the bigger and harder and thicker skin seem to be the ones that don't grow or rot. 1000% agree! with you!
Wow! 6 months! I got my first leaf in 3.5 weeks and the second at 5 weeks. I just switched to pon, 7 weeks and we've got the third leaf coming in. I started it in moss with root hormone. I then bought a black velvet and got 8 corms. Started in moss with Prop Drops last month, 8/23/24, and they are starting to push out their first leaves. I'm switching one over now to leca, to see how it goes, and that's why I'm here 😅😊
Also, I peeled my corms.
Your video just popped up after days of searching for this information.
I had found a Polly corm 2 years ago when I first transplanted it. I thought it would grow into another plant like most plants do (no knowledge what-so-ever about Alocasia Polly's).
I just found 13, didn't have sphagnum moss, pebbles, etc., but you started yours in water.
I have a lot of patience, so I'll give your method a shot.
Thanks so much for doing this upload!
You are welcome! I have found the growing process slow but satisfying. .The main plant that I thought was dead is in fact not. I ended up taking out of pot and the roots and base are fine and healthy plus I found 5 more corms! So I have potted the main plant back up and going to be patient and let it grow again. Apparently they do this often? Go dormant then grow back. I will post update in a few months how all are growing.
I'll be looking forward to your next update.
Hi ma'am. Your video makes my day happy. Thanks so much for your imparted knowledge regarding propagation process of bambino plant.
Ma'am i just want to know how long you change water of the soaked corms of alocasia bambino? Many thanks and God bless!
Hi! I didn't change it alot. I just refreshed it when it got low.
Your Alocasia Polly is truly gigantic. Propagation from tubers is more effective than cuttings.
Hey Deena! Really like your aura. U have a really nice vibe :) just found a few corms in my alo. Hope to see more from u soon. Vlade from Berlin
Thank you!
Love this video! Thank you so much for showing us how to find corms😄
thanks for the kind words! The ones that survived are huge now! I really need to repot them and make an update. I am a bad youtube haha!
Oh wow 6mths...i put my corms in soil and misted them then covered to give humidity...the sprouted in a month and still pushing little leafs out. I think soil is fine as long as you first mist then water once leaves come out.
I really need to post an update to show where they are now. The are full-fledged plants now. Some of mine sprouted right away but many didn't, but they did after many months. Only a couple rotted. Now years later I have given some away as gifts some died along the way - all survived a year and the ones remaining are thriving- Same with the Mother plant! She is back to the size I got her- Not as big as in the video but getting there!
Hi Deena! I really enjoyed this video and searching for corms with you through it lol. I found 5 corms in my Alocasia Polly and I’m going to try the shallow puddle method. Thank you for showing me how to do it!
Thank you 😊 mine are still alive I have had struggles with them in soil but it looks like some are finally adapting. What I discovered is if the original leaf dies cut it off but keep watering soil etc.. and light and it grows back. My mother plant went dormant but is now growing strong again 😀
Congratulations! 🎉 Your baby had babies! 😂❤️❤️❤️
Great video ! 🌿😊🌿 Plants are the best, specially the people behind them 🌿🤩🌿 You got a new sub from Denmark .☀️🌿😊🇩🇰
Thank you!
Hi Deena, great video! There aren't many about finding corms and I loved that you showed it on camera. Did your mother plant survive? I hope so!
Yes it went dormant. It started to grow again but I brought it inside and it seems to have stopped growing. I had no choice but to bring it in because it would die from the cold if I didn't. Time will tell.
Thanks so much for doing this vid! I’m trying this now!
So glad you liked it♡
Here's an update:
Recycled plastic spinach container, lava rock, potting soil, spray bottle, space under a regular lamp.
6/13: arranged 13 bulbs in rows, mist, close the top. Mist every 2 - 3 days.
6/29: root appears out of one bulb.
7/2: root appears out of a second bulb.
I'll be in touch!
That's so exciting! Many of mine have sprouted leaves now. Still have them in thr Leca clay balls.
Your plants is so beautiful very big that’s one of my wish list hope I can purchase it before the end of this year thanks 🙏 for sharing you very informative video on propagation have a great day I just subscribe watching from California
Thank you!!
Wow !!!Are you fantastic! thanks for this video! is very good. i have a small plat Alocasia
I should update all the babies. They are doing great and still in leca
Wow, mine has not changed one bit, this is so huge and beautiful
Thank you!
My mother plant came frozen. I’m hoping I can save the bulbs and regrow. Doing it now. How much water do I add the the plastic container with the bulbs? And should I set the container in a sunny spot?
just enough to cover the bottom (sorry I didn't see this till now) Don't have it submerged just shallow
Trying out a few corms.
It's exciting!
The mother might just need to rest! And be dormant. Take root ball and remove dirt from her put in paper bag wrapped up in cool dark place til next season she will please you truly🥰
She was for months but is back! Nice and strong.
@@deenaisvlogging266 YAYYYYYYYY🙆🏾♀️
I have done an update months ago but still haven't finished editing it lol I will need to do another update of that update 😅
Wow great video...thank u
Thank you! I am a terrible youtuber I should do an update but I keep putting it off haha
Just keep on posting short videos of ur plants i love ur videos...God bless u😘 happy planting more plants galore😊
Lol I found four in a four inch pot
That's awesome!!
Nice
Is your “flower” showing somewhat of a foam tip? I have a start of what I thought was a leaf on mine and now it has a ball shape in the stock and what looks like foam is coming out of it
apparently that is the flower. It kind of opens up a bit and looks kind of vulgar haha! I have had it happen twice with my main plant. My main plant is really making a come back. It's small compared to what it was but it is growing really well. There were actually two that were kind of grown together and even that one is starting to sprout. My bulb ones are still alive but the leaves keep dying and another grows back. I have no idea what that means.
You’re suppose to peel brown outer sheath off
I probably would do that next time if the cormbs were older and big. I did notice that newer ones that are not covered in brown "skin?" grew super fast where as the ones with the covering grew slower. That said it is the brown ones that are still alive! And striving. They are proper little plants now. Not all of them made it but enough that I call it a success.
Hello. I have one that flowered a few weeks ago. Any suggestions?
I have had mone flower more than once and eventually all it does is kind of rot and die. I usually just cut it off when it starts to look bad
Do you have to plant them in leca?
you don't have too but I haven't had luck putting them into soil right away after they rooted in the shallow water. I have had luck after they were established to transplant them into soil. In fact after a while I kind of have to or else the leaves start to die. I am guessing because I have no nutrients in the water. What I have done is put the corm back in the shallow water and it grows a new leaf. Once the leaf looks good and strong I transplant it to soil and that seems to do the trick. This has been my experience.
Try in perlite next time
Thanks!
Perlite works better than laca
