- Some helpful tips 👇🏼
🌿 alocasias contain calcium oxalate crystals so wear gloves 🧤 when handling as some people can be sensitive to them
🌿 corms have a top and bottom, make sure the top is up where the growth will emerge
🌿 not all corms are the same, not all will grow and not all will grow at the same pace
🌿 keep the fluval moist, I top mine off 2 x a week
🌿 after you have a leaf or 2 and a good root system you can transfer to your growing substrate
🌿 make sure they’re kept warm + humid and they’re under a grow light to have the most success
Happy growing ☺️🫶🏻

This is the longest month ever! Maybe if I stop looking for growth every 30 mins, it wouldn't feel so long😂
So cute! I'm trying for the first time, and some are showing growth
Very good job my friend❤🌱🌿🤗
It's been a month for me, and some of orms are showing REALLY signs of growth lol. I guess patience is the key😅😭😅
Once they grow, then what? When do I move them from the stratom?? Mine grew!!! Yay!!!
for most plants, once their roots grow roots on them, secondary roots that are an inch or so long, it’s rooted enough. But you actually dont have to as long as you fertilize it
Soil works best for me and way faster
Good tip thank you ❤
You’re welcome 😊
Perlite works for me ❤
I actually use both 😊
How long did it take to grow?
Good thing I didn't throw those away when cleaning my new African mask's top soil😂
Mine grows itself the corms. I have my answer now if I want to growth it
Does anyone know why my corms would get moldy while trying to root/grow in fluval? I have a lot of issues with propagations molding and dying as well in water and sphagnum moss. Is it due to no air flow while being covered? Should I put holes in my plastic containers and cups?
Thanks!!!
i’ve only had problem with a corm molding and dying once, basically just have it as normal covered with no holes for humidity, but like once a day let it air out for an hour (so give it fresh air for an hour) and that helps a bit. i’ve personally never tried fluval but this is how it works for me with a little bit of water
cinnamon on your soil will help prevent mold and bacteria
Mine 6 weeks
What is the medium you are growing your acorns on?
I accidentally broke my baby alocasia off of its corm when i was potting it up 😭 It only has two tiny leaves, it does have some roots though, will it still survive?
Where do you get the corms from? (Scared to ask, but I really don’t know)
From the alocasias I have. I find them when repotting. They grow off the roots usually under the soil 😊
Did you just use plain water or did you put any enhancer on it? Thanks!
Just plain water, the stratum already has nutrients :)
do the cups have draining holes?
How often do u water the corme
if you have it in a non-soil medium like her, you keep it mostly full. Corms are small and delicate with no plant to store moisture in, so you want to keep it moist
Please drop the link of which fluval you use? Is it in your page product store?
This is a late reply but petco sells it and I think petsmart too. It’s in the aquarium section. I learned that it is not cheap… so I’m very conservative. I mix fluval stratum and perlite together and works really good.
How much water do you add?
Happens with every alocasia?
How much water do you fill? I just started in stratum and Im worried to overwater... Seems you fill it almost reaching the corm?
I fill it up to the top but not so it's soupy looking lol but once it gets about halfway or so I'll fill up again.
@@plantsbymelissa thank you. I filled mine like that but it became too wet/overwatered and corm died 😢
@@plantsbymelissa Do you cover it with a lid?
Is this pure water you poor or diluted with somthing? Thanx
This is video is so simple, it’s not exactly helpful.
What is the soil you’re using. I couldn’t make out the word when you mentioned it. Thanks🪴
It's literally says fluval stratum...I don't even know something like this exist.iam from fiji n no fluvals here😂😢
