Knocked off a corm - now what?

I repotted my Alocasia Stingray and accidentally knocked off a corm. I don't know if I'm ready to grow it though - how easy is it?

TIA #gregfam!

I would stick it in the same pot as the mother plant and see what happens. If it grows, cool. If it doesn't, you're not out anything. #YOLO?

I peel them and put in a mix of sphagnum moss & perlite . They like light an humidity in my experience. Dnt let completely dry out

@gAnderson Gretchen, I had trouble peeling mine even after they had soaked in plain water for a few hours - do you know if that means it wasn't mature enough?

Going to give it a go anyways - as @ForestDweller Mac says YOLO 😁 and then I can give it to my sister if it grows!

Sometimes I cnt get all the way peeled. They usually still root. Some of the girls I watch on utube just say it helps em root faster so I started doing it. Lol.

@gAnderson thanks, Gretchen! I did see a smaller corm while repotting so at least I know for next time I repot there's more work to do 😄
