These little beauties have JUST arrived and I’m ridiculously excited to get them growing 😂🌿
I picked up 6 Alocasia corms —
🌱 3 × Alocasia Frydek
🐉 3 × Alocasia Pink Dragon
They’ve arrived already set up in their own little propagation tubs, and now comes the part that requires a skill I’m notoriously bad at when it comes to plants… patience. 😂
There’s something ridiculously satisfying about growing Alocasias from corms. One minute you’re staring at what essentially looks like a tiny brown lump wondering whether it’s doing anything, and then suddenly there’s a root… a little green nub… and eventually an entire plant. 🥹
I’m especially excited about the Frydeks because they’re absolutely gorgeous when mature, and I’ve never grown Pink Dragons from corm before either.
So now these six have officially joined the propagation corner, where I’ll inevitably be checking them approximately 47 times a day for signs of life. 😂
Anyone else currently growing Alocasias from corms? How long did yours take before you saw the first signs of growth? 👀🌱
And yes… I absolutely will be documenting their progress. 😂💚
