Hey everyone! I have two Alocasia plants that have corms!...

Hey everyone! I have two Alocasia plants that have corms! What is the best way to grow the corms? I have never done this before and would like to start. I have done some research and am unsure about growing them in only perlite because many have said they have gotten moldy. Advice? Thank you!

I started mine in mini greenhouse in moss. Once there was enough roots, I moved them to soil in small "domed" pots and took plastic off Once they grew and were touching plastic.

@LadySugarvine Awesome! Is there a specific temperature you keep them at?

I usually keep under a grow light and keep vents open just a bit. I keep the moss wet but not sitting in water. You need the high humidity but air flow is also critical. It's so satisfying to watch them grow
