Wow, thank you so much. The most helpful video about corms, ever. You are doing an amazing research-work!! 👍🏻

Thank you! It's very refreshing to watch a direct and informative video without 30 minutes of blather. Perfect!

Thank you for showing me not to throw away my dead alocasia plants without removing the corms.

I got an alocasia as a gift last year and I have no idea what I'm doing with it, today I saw one of those corms getting out of the soil and really wondering what it was! What a coincidence I found your video 🤣

Also: as an aroid, and if you hate soil, you can also just leave it in water as Alocasia can grow fully hydroponically!

This was the perfect video for me, thank you. Clear, concise, no filler, beautiful house!

For anyone wondering about light, I am propagating my alocasia polly corms and have pretty much only used a grow light bulb ( the only place I can grow them is like 15 feet from any window ) and they have grown wonderfully! first leaf is unraveling after about a month and a half. they are about 8-10 inches from the grow light bulb right under it.

Aloha! My Regal Shield had a WHOOPING 47 corm babies! And I’m currently on day 6 of propagation with your methods and every single one (including the tinest of ones) and starting to be in the little curling form! I’m so happy. Had a bit of mold on a few but nothing alcohol couldn’t kill and a few drops in the prop water as well… lol. Thank you so much! Looks like I’ll be buying some bigger vessels!! And a lot of them!!

I keep about an inch layer of moss on the soil for most of my plants and I have found that this caused corms to grow just above the soil and just below the moss, but larger like they were under the soil.

Very informative and straight to the point. I like how you use regular stuff around the house and don't advocate for all these fancy gadgets.

I followed all of your directions for corn propagation, and all eight of my comms have now all formed leaves. I really don’t need eight more Alocasia. How many Alocasia could I put in one pot? I really had no idea how huge these plants get and thanks to your potting mix recipes all of my plants have beyond thrived. I guess I could give some plants away. I only have so much room. Thank you for all your advice.

I just found three large corms in the soil of my black velvet that died. I was so happy! I forgot they made corms!!!🖤🖤🖤

Best clear confident logical plant teacher ever

THANKYOU SO MUCH, ive been looking for an alternative to spag moss or fluval bcs i hate the idea of them but didn't know how effective water propogation could be, ur method is perfect for me & the way i like to grow my plants, easy to keep things clean and fresh, and easy to observe everything thats going on with the babies, thankyou 💗

I just found my first corms today! Didn’t even know they were a thing, lolz. Gonna use this technique to try and let it grow! Thank you!

Just found 8 corms (dropped one down the sink drain by accident) trying this method, very informative video keep up the good work!

I ordered a mystery box of 4 (6-inch ) plants on Etsy. As I repotted them into a terracotta pot, I found two corms! I had not seen this video yet, and left them outside, thinking they were Leca balls. After seeing your video, I retrieved them. I put them in a class jar of moist moss and capped it with some air holes. I placed the jar under a full spectrum light on a heat mat, which happens to be in the house of my tortoise 😊 thanks for the video!!

Yes I just used your protocol - my maharani I’ve had a few years it was dormant over a year . I just lightly checked and I found 5 ! I can’t wait to have a tiny baby maharani thank you ❤ Can’t wait to get corms from my Stingray .

Wow very knowledgeable and helpful video! Thanks!!

Thank you so much ! I've recently was gifted an anthurium metallicum and it had about 5 corms in the soil when transferring it to a different medium. I'm going to follow these steps. Thanks for the education on these ; wonderful video :D

What a brilliant video! When I brought my first little alocasia home, she sent 4 scout bulbs in 4 directions. They reached the end of the pot, waited there a few weeks, and then dried off one by one. Until now, I didn´t understand why she let them to dry out and put on other bulbs from the soil instead. My alocasia keeps sending these little scouts again and again, so finally I understand it :-) I thought she was measuring the pot :-D I didn´t know they need more room to actually grow.

This was an incredibly comprehensive course in corms. I never would have tried it in water, I use perlite. So much more satisfying to see those roots at a glance! You have a new subscriber. 😁

I have mine in a moss prop box along with the “stem” part of the mother. We had a 4 day power outage in late June and temps hit 100F outside so it was hellish on my second floor. The alocasia was a victim of the heat. I saved the stalk and it now has new roots and growth points. I am so excited to see how she develops!

Thank you for the most informative video on Y/T on this process. I’m happy to tell you that I now have 4 Amazonica Curly corms which have 2 leaves and 1 tiny corm which is shooting. I transferred them to moss and they will stay there till they move on to Leca, which the mother plant lives in. I’m so happy I found your channel💕

Thank you so much! I’ve tried it and got 5 healthy new Alocasia Macrorrizha variegated 🎉

I had to repot t my alocasia because I wanted to check the roots, and I found a fabric plug (ugh), and seven corms (yay!) Following your advice I got all seven to sprout! I'm so happy! I can see the curls and roots growing every day. I hope they all make it. I can't wait to transfer them to soil and grow them into baby plants I can swap or give away.

I ordered some corms recently for an alocasia that I haven't been able to find otherwise... so this will definitely make me feel more comfortable when the corms finally arrive, thank you!

All of my small ones have worked for Alocasias. I've had 100% success with propagating them in sphagnum moss.

Learned a lot. New subscriber supporting my fellow content creators for the algorithms 😂

I bought a small black velvet alocasia from jewels osco a week ago, i repotted her and she had 7 corms! I’m so excited considering she was in a 4 in pot

This video was so helpful, I found like ten corms when I repotted my alocasia and I’ve managed to get most to root and three have their first leaves! So excited!

Thank you. I learned a lot. My alocasia I just repotted had 18 corms. First time dealing with this. (Beginner plant guy 😊).

omg thank you so much, this was so helpful! I thought it wasn't actually a corm because of how wierd it looks and was scared to cut it off, wish me luck with propagating my black velvet!

My alocasia corms are growing on the surface of the soil, literally sticking out. Once mature, the stems die off and the corms are left on ground. What I did was propagated them directly on soil and they all sprouted except for one. But I love to try your method of propagating corms in water. Thank you for sharing.

Lol. Well now I know which way they got. I wasn’t sure what was the top and what was the bottom!

Thank you for the good explanation i have a elephant ear and i am waiting one year to grow new now i will try your method

This is the most helpful corm video I've seen yet 👏👏 going to try the bottle cap method :)

First video that popped up for my alocasia propagation search and exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the great video. Subscribed 😊

I found 2 corms (1 med and 1 small) and I followed your video to the letter. Much to my delight both grew roots. The small one even sprouted a leaf after 1 month in a little bottle cap. Albeit a very very small leaf 😂 Thanks so much for your video!

This was the most helpful video I’ve watched! Perfectly explained, and with examples! I intend to watch more of your videos - this one was the first. I’ve also subscribed so I don’t miss any. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Wow! Thanks so much for the tips! I used your method and all of my six silver dragon corms are geminated! Now I will try for the string ray now. You are life saver! ❤

.. Maybe I should see what's going on with my corms 🤔 I know they have roots, and lots of them (got 15 corms from one plant), but they are in spagnum moss.. I'm new to corms, so didn't know what else to do with them ☺️ it's so exciting 🤗

Aloha. I'm super glad that I found your video....... I just ordered (5) Alocasia Frydek Veriegata corms, and this is definitely the best way I've seen to germinate them. Thanks.

Thanks so much 💖 I think this might help me save my jacklyn

This is such a fantastic video! Definitely one of the most informative and succinct videos I have ever watched on youtube for any topic. Your direct and informative style is so perfect for a how-to-do video. You took the fear of plant propagation right out of me! I'm a new subscriber now. Thank you!

This video is awesome..I just repotted my new 10in regal shield and I found about 4 to 5 corms. Can't wait to try and propagate

Thank you so much. I have been successful using your method. Your video has been very helpful

I have two Alocasia Samar Lance corms that im so excited to try this on!!!

I have just recently found your videos and am so impressed. I have always had "houseplants" mainly focusing on my outdoor garden but have recently been bitten by the bug that makes you love these more unusual plants, my favourites being different varieties of Alocasia. Your videos are so full of good practical information that I actually feel more confident with my new plant obsession. Thank you so much for what you are doing ☺️

Thank you thank you !!! I follow the bottle caps are working so far is sprouting can’t wait to see the leaves !!!

Thank you so much for this video!! I never knew about corms and I’m so excited to find them and start new alocasias from a speed 🥹🥹🥹❤️

This video was EXTREMELY helpful! 😊😊 I found my first bulb a month ago, but did not know what to really do (stuck it in soil) and it disintegrated. But after watching your video, I feel a little more prepared for next time, but also realized that my 3 sibling plants that have grown next to the mother plant are from bulbs I never dug out. Very cool 😀😀

Wow! You are so good at explaining things. I’m so glad that I found you last week. You’re the best.

Thank you so much for this video ❤ I got five corms out of my big one I really hope that I can do this. I'm so excited I've never had an alocasia Polly before so I'm really excited and then if I could propagate even more better! ❤😊

WOW!!! What a great video. I'm just learning about Alocasias and so grateful to have found your video. Thanks sooooooooooo much!

The most helpful video of all time!

Looked at so much videos and none were as useful as this! Best explanation and very thorough! Thanks!

I just found 13 larger corms in alocasias by 'accident' so imma try my best now

This is awesome, thank you so much

Excellent video, you are brilliant! I was trying but I put the corms upside down 😅 Now I know the correct way

Thank you!!! This is one of the most informative video's so far. You know your 💩💩💩💩 I've had trouble in the past where if I let any water touch the corm, it rots! IDKW??? One thing that also helps when removing the sheath is a pointed tweezer. I have had success with semi-hydroponics with my larger Alocasia's. ( I have over 70 + indoor plants in semi-hydroponics, mostly DIY PONS). All of them do amazing, especially once I started using a humidifier. I believe that's the key!

I just got my first corms from my alocasia, I'm using your bottle cap method, only thing I did different was put some saran wrap over the bottle cap and poke a hole in it then put my corm in the hole to stop it from falling over, now it's a waiting game to see if I get lucky and get them to sprout, thanks for the video, I didn't even know about corms until I seen this

This is a really good informative video. I will try this. Thank you

I've tried water and they just turned to mush but you have inspired me to try your method the next time I come across a corm😊 I lost most of my alocasia when I was in the hospital, but I hope to get more one day . I adore them. Thank you for this dear ❤️

Great video, I am new and am trying propagating the corms in a Fluval Stratum equivalent here in UK ( tropica aquasoil), in a food container with lid, they have just started the "pearls" with a hint of a leaf so I'll leave them and see how they go. Any problems and I'll sure use your water method next time. Thank you for sharing.x

Mine took much longer than I anticipated but I finally have great roots started and a few leaves. Things always seem to take longer in my house but I'm learning patience. We'll get there eventually.

Thanks just propgated a few corms. Fingers crossed 🤞

Brilliant video, and thanks for sharing. This is fabulous knowledge to have. Cheers.

kind of of reminds me of how you grow a avocado from seed

I've been propagating my Alocasia using your corm in a bottle cap method. It really worked well for me. Thank you!

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! My black velvet alocasia yielded 5 corms. Will try your method. 😊

Thank you so much for explaining about the corms in detail. I loved your video, and you've got a new subscriber!

Thanks Drea! I wouldn’t have thought of that 😊

The most helpful video! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

Great video! Straight to the point, covering everything you need to know. I found 12 corms so I'm looking forward to lots of new alocasia babies!

Thank you, your video is very helpful with my first corm baby!

Thanks for tips and tutorial for alocasia plants I love this plant

Well I just propagated two corms your way. I wish I could have found a bottle cap like yours, mines a little bigger and it was hard to keep them up right, I put some pon in to keep them up. Well see what happens in a month maybe. Great video thank you!

Nice video with good details. Thanks will try your method. Regards

Where did you get those adorable tubes with the lip? Those are perfect!

Just the video I needed. I'll try that.

I transferred an All Asia Polly to pin today and we've got7 baby corms! So I researched this video and I'm going to try your method. I'm using salt vessels. Wish me luck!!

This video was so helpful. I have a question. Hydroponic plants produce corms?

I prop my corms in Fluval Stratum and they love it.

I appreciate your logical explanations based on science. I find it very hard to trust what many people say in the hobby but your knowledge has been a great help. Thank you

Excellent explanation! Especially documenting the process

I found a dead alocasia at work and for some odd reason while throwing it out something told me to grab that little ball and throw it in water. I’d never grown one before and I’d only ever seen one and that was this dead crunchy one I was tossing out. Well, I threw it in water and forgot about it until 6 days ago I saw the roots had been growing and there was a pointy growth from it! And it's been growing and unfolding more every day since then. I'm so happy with myself! 😂❤ Update: I still have it in water and it has grown three beautiful leaves! And now I'm afraid to move it over to soil 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣 but I’m gonna do it using the double cup method so wish me luck 🤞🏾

I just potted couple corms into soil, but I potted them with the side that was connected to root facing down. I guess I need to turn them the opposite side :D

Great information about propagation of corms !

Best and completest explenation I've seen so far, thank you! Do you have to use filtered water? I try to only use tap water that has been sitting for a few hours to get dechlorinated but after four weeks of sitting in bottlecaps (and a few in leca) they aren't doing anything even though they're in perfect light/humidity conditions.

Thanks!!! Just what I was looking for!

Could you maybe put another 4 inch planter directly next to it and guide the stolon growth into it? I mean you could even add another if you had to, but obviously 2 empty pots next to it all the time would be done more in a nursery setting than on a livingroom display shelf. Or maybe use one pot and slowly move it away as the stolon grows. Getting ready to germinate a couple pink princess alocasias and your video came up. Thanks for posting the these instructions.

I'm having a hard time keeping my corm upright, so I put some sphagnum moss in there to provide structure (and retain moisture!). Is that a bad idea for any reason? Is there a better alternative? Thank you so much for this and all of your videos, they're so incredibly helpful!!

I planted my corms in stratum and they’re fuzzy. I wish I had done this method.

That RocKeD!

Thank you!! I love this video🥰. Where did you buy the little glass containers you put them after it grew roots?

I was wondering what my alocasia black velvet was doing (the stolens)!

Thank you so much. Maybe I will have better luck growing a new Cuprea. Not buying anymore baby plants! Lol

Thank youfor explaining so well!!! 👍

Great video. I just processed mine like you suggested. But where do i find those cute bottles?
