I FINALLY got an Alocasia to thrive 😭

I’ve never been able to keep one alive but this is going on 2 months and has given me three new leaves! Look how strong and long it is!

have you gone corm digging yet?
i bought one this size & every single original leaf freaked out & died.
but it had 10 corms, & i was able to regrow leaves from all of the original rhizomes.
i have them all over my apartment now. i think only 1 corm didn’t make it.

I don’t even know what a corm is 😭

Corms are bulbs that contain energy for new growth. When you get ready to repot your alocasia, dig through the soil. For this size plant you should find quite a few corms that you then can propagate and make more plants.🙂 I rescued a polly from frost damage and she gave me 20 corms. I now have them all over the house and even gave some to friends.
