  • Growing plants from Alocasia corms is ultimate satisfaction 💯. If you have an Alocasia, you can gently dig around the soil to harvest these to grow new plants! This entire DIY also works for any plant propagation (not just corms!)
    I found dupes for the Daiso products Iinked below.
    Even if you’re not growing corms, Solum works great for propagating plants in general:
    - it buffers the PH of the water to maximize nutrition uptake
    - doesn’t break down easily
    - larger shape to provide increase aeration for growing roots

    Yes I love that store! I wondered how u made those. I used Spag moss. I had an dragon scale that I bought from the 99 cent store and it gave me 4 little corns. When it dies. They are all doing great. Living in a big clear cookie jar

      I prefer not to grow my Alocasias in LECA anymore due to root rot. I’ve had 100% success rate with stratum! It’s nutrient rich and I’ve done experiments and found it roots the fastes. I keep it extremely wet but I don’t bury the corm completely. Only halfway.
