ALOCASIA PROPAGATION: Grow alocasia from corms
Alocasia and some similar aroids produce little corms which are like bulbs in some ways. You can take these alocasia corms and grow a new plant and this video shows how I grow alocasia from corms with a little prop station.
What is the difference between a corm and a bulb?
Corms are enlarged underground stems that store all those well needed nutrients and they surrounded by papery outer layers. After stems sprout from the corm, buds form on top of the stem.
Corms at their center are solid tissue, whereas Bulbs are immature layers of leaves
Most Aroids have tubers or rhizomes, this means a damaged plant has the food storage and ability to grow new shoots from many points beneath the ground. Some aroids have other means of vegetatively propagating themselves.
