ALOCASIA PROPAGATION: Grow alocasia from corms 

I do this every year and it’s a foolproof way to get your corms going. And it’s not just alocasia!

This video was so helpful; I just reported my Alocasia Polly and found a bunch of corms!! I was so excited cuz I knew what they were and they could be propagated and read up on it but hearing you talk about it and seeing the progress gave me confidence that I’ll be able to have success with mine too… thank you! (Love the dragon scale one you have!)

I have a gigantea I just split up into 5 plants because it was HUGE. I found 22 corms. I'm excited to give as gifts once they sprout and get large enough.

Thank you! This was really helpful!!

Can we grow it from a single leaf?

Thank you for the video! I got my first Alocasia Polly yesterday and it had 6 corms, which I will try propagating now 😊 Question - do you ever open the lid of your prop box and give air?

It would be so nice if you could mix 2 or 3 different kinds of alocacias in one flower pot and grow them in leca all together! 😂 is just a crazy experiment!!❤

If you leave the corms in the pot, will they grow to make a bushier plant?

Peel your avocado seeds black layer off so your left with the tan off white colour this stops rot put it in a zip lock bag with a shot of water in the bag and put it somewhere dark and you’ll see the seed split in two quickly then once the roots about 1 cm ish put it in a plastic bottle that has been cut in half with the lid section inverted like a funnel put the seed it in the funnel section and fill bottle with water until the tip of the root touches the water through the funnel like bottom half. You’ll see the tap root shoot doon into the water and once it’s mature enough you can transfer it to soil and hey presto your tree will begin 😀 no cocktail sticks and water glasses

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. What type of box and where did you purchase it?

Am doin this now am a beginner. How long I leave them on my heat pad ? How often do I open the bag ? Do I need to add water whilst propagating?

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much

I call them potato babies. I think they feel sort of like a potato if they have not died.

Thank you for this video! I have had little corms (now I have a name for them) growing off of my black velvet and everything I could find was on rhizome propagation. I knew they were not flowers growing off the side, as I have had a flower grow from the middle of this black velvet, so I assumed they were babies. I just didn't know what to do with them. Now I do, so much appreciated!

why can't you plant them deeper? shouldn't they be deep where the roots don't show?

nice to follow the progress in detail

Do you add any water on the white terrain for the pops to sit on??

Hello just found your channel🥰 I find alocasia’s are spiders magnets🤔 Please share your experience😳

Same method

Hi. How do you avoid the water rotting? Thanks

Hey, so I've been using the perlite method in a glass jar with saran wrap covering it but some of my corms have gone moldy. Any suggestions? I've been spraying them with diluted rubbing alcohol when I see the mold😬

Decided to give this a go after having a massive first-timer harvest of 22 regal shield corms. About half or more sprouted, good enough for me. They have plenty of roots, with some are small. Feels like I put in too much perlite. Should I scoop em out, reduce perlite, put them back in, or just toss them in soilÉ

I usually keep a layer of sphagnum moss on my plants and noticed that corms tend to form between the soil and moss pretty readily.

Ok after the moth. do I put in soil in it's own pot.

Oh that's a great video! Thank you :) I literally don't like my Alocasia Polly because the new leaf will come out and another dies so I always have just 1 leaf. :/ idk what's wrong. Whenever new leaf is out the old is dead within 24h (going yellow, brown)

This made me realize my own stupid error, from the last time I attempted corm propagation of my Amazónica-Polly… I thought the root end was the leaf end. And I had it in about 1cm of water to take root. Clearly not gonna happen.😂😭

Years ago I purchased a couple of alocasia and didn't have a clue these plants go dormant. I throw them out noting knowing they produced corms.

This video was very informative. You should do a video on how to make a moss box. For me, that was one of the best parts. It's brilliant Man!!!!

You say it's Sphagnum Moss - I've never seen green sphagnum. Are you using a special kind? I have followed these steps and now have a few Zebrinas that will need to move to the moss stage soon 😁

I'm glad I found your channel! Thank you for sharing your procedures with us. This was a new way to propagate for me and I'm very excited with it

Thanks for the great info! Do you only add filtered water to your perlite and moss or do you give water soluble nutrients to your water once they have sprouted?

What time of year to propagate and what time of year to collect? I’m also in the UK and my Frydek has a corm but it’s still very green!

What if they’re attached to the plant ?

Hi, can you propagate the Mickey Mouse plant this way please?

I have a question about airflow. Do you usually seal the lid of the spag prop box? Do you let it air out for a few hours each day? I’m currently working with a Jacklyn and reading that without oxygen, I’m inviting rot. Can you please advise, thanks!

Hey, may I ask why don't use fully Sphagnum Mossfor corm propagraton instead of fully Perlite? HOw they are different?

Do you have to remove them or will they sprout with mother plant if left alone?

When you move them from perlite to moss do you mix something with the moss??

Ola gostei muito do vídeo ,pena que não falo inglês

Amazing technique, shall try this. Thanks

How long do you keep them dry before soaking them?

awesome video thank you my dude. This was great!

Sir so beautiful plant's❤😊

Hello, how can you prevent mold? I also put the corms into vet perlite and mold started to develop on the top of the corms even after I uncovered the container to get some airflow… 🙁 I am using corms from a Polly.

This was really good info. Thanks 😊💞🇹🇹

Wish I found this earlier before mine dried out 🥴

Thank you. I been having much trouble. I had to cut back the original plant i got from store as had its notorious best buddy the spider mite. Mom of six daughters all under 15, and all love watching your vids w me. Thank you

This is amazing! I used the divided container idea with my corms which have just been NOT rooting, and after about 10 days I already have little roots starting, thank you so much!

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Where did you get the case

Very helpful! Where did you get your containers from?

May I ask a question? I have some Alocasia Jacklyn corms I’m trying to root and I’m 4 weeks in and NOTHING. Would putting them on a heat mat help or am I just being impatient? 😂 I think I need to peel a little more too. Thank u for your video.

Very Lovely Plants ^^ Include Like 70, I leave 3 presents. Have a good relationship. My friend, always Stay Connected~~
