Help! Alocasia Jacklyn Corms

I "had" an Alocasia Jacklyn and these 2 little guys are what's left of it. Bittersweet I know. 💔 So I decided to stick them in-between 2 sheets of damp moss. Now to my surprise they're sprouting! I don't know what makes me think I can keep them alive when I couldn't even keep the Alocasia alive but here we are! So does anyone know when I should plant them in soil and in what direction? Thanks! #propagationstation #corms #alocasiaaddicts #alocasia #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newgrowth
I feel you—I’m alocasia kryptonite!!! But I keep trying with them anyway. Hope springs eternal! 😁
@LaSiguanaba Girl they see me coming and start the process. That's why I'm surprised at these little sweet peas! Pokin' out of their little homes. They obviously didn't get the memo. Ha!
@princesspitstop I swear I found some corms in an alocasia I killed and then I think I killed the corms!!! I’m telling you, me and alocasiasâ€Ķ I’m like a moth to the flame! 😂
@LaSiguanaba My next post: Let's bow our heads for a moment of silence...😭😂
@LaSiguanaba they're doing so well in there maybe I should just leave them where they're at until I see some kind of root action happening. At least that way I'll know which direction to plant them in. I'm just winging it at this point haha pray for me 🙏 or them.
Im not familiar with alocasia bulbs tbh. But id bet theyre like any bulb. The bulls eye pattern on the bull goes up
And if its sprouting its tome !🙌
It actually doesnt look like they do have a pattern. Im really not sure. Dont listen to me 😂
@princesspitstop we will all take a moment of silence for your corms 😉
@TheConservator lol I sincerely appreciate you trying! I'm going to let them do their thing and see if maybe they'll magically show me something. 😁
@LaSiguanaba Thanks 👍😊
@PoisedAlbo Thank you! Yes ma'am the highs are still in the 80's! And excellent excuse for a hot fudge sundae from Mickey D's!! Whoop whoop hahaha Seriously for real thanks for the advice. Wouldn't it be neat if I actually grew an Alocasia Jacklyn from Corm's?? Absolutely WILD! 😁
Im just now catching on exactly whats going on!😂 guess i was even more lost about what exactly was going on. Those corms, they are the little bulbs that form off the main one i assume ??? If so. Im starting some balck colocasia that way now. I have 2 shoots. They sprout then die. Never getting more than 1-2 leaves before another dies off. But each round it gets bigger. I assume its using those shoots to get energy to make roots and get bigger.
Sry for the bad pic but theyre getting shower fertlizer and insecticide granules now
Im really a noob gardener ðŸĪ·â€â™‚ïļ just been doing it forever lol. I just grow the stuff. All the big words like croms just confoooses me 😂😂😂
@TheConservator I didn't know what they were until recently either I don't feel bad lol You grew those from Corm's??? So it's possible?
Yes. I got a 2 gallon pot of em free cause the momma died. Greenhouse wanted em out. I started with 5 of the biggest in there and have weeded down to 2. Its been slow. Id say i got them around end of august
I get random free things occasionally from my main / closest greenhouse. But they make a shitload off me! Lol. But fyi lowes hone depot are so easy on 1/2 pricing plants. Atleast here. 2-3 brown leaves ??? Just ask if theyll discount it !
@TheConservator Really? Ok cool! I'll try that.
