After perlite/moss stage of my corms, I transfer them in stratum to grow a big strong root system for a couple months, then to leca! I have amazing success that way as pon is not easily available in Canada and I love my alocasias in semi-hydro!
I pop them in stratum and leave them alone. I lost about 6 corms because silly me put the corms behind bigger plants and forgot about them. The stratum dried out and that was the end of that.
I put them straight into Fluval. I made one mistake. I lost the little glass amoungst the large pots and forgot to water the fluval and my dragon scale corms died.
They are so cute when they are babies. Makes me want to unpot my polly and see if she has corms. I recently started adding about an inch of moss to the top of leca for alocasia and have had great results.
I enjoyed this video so much! If you're worried about your plants going into shock, I would look into Great White Myco, it helps roots become stronger so the shock and the changes in care don't hit the plant as hard. Now when I repot my alocasias (or any plants really), they take it like champs and I do attribute it to great white! Other than that, I was doing some repotting of my own, loved this video and your channel. Have a great rest of your day!

Thanks for the tips! I’ll remember that for next time for sure🩵 thanks for commenting!
So cute!! I just grew out some veriagated frydek corms and I’m gonna grow them in pon I think.
I’ve never used pon, I hope it goes well! Happy growing
Grow them in Fluval Stratum, you will not be sorry.
Plants are sad at me, my green thumb hasn't been holding up.. you make it look so easy!
It goes in waves! Mine are sad rn too 🥲
I wish I could keep plants alive 😂
I’m sure you can! Start with something like a cactus, those are nearly impossible to kill!! Or a pothos if you want a faster grower 😋
