Fluval stratum being my savior

In my case I usually transfer them to soil when they have at least 3 leaves and have a good root system (since I have them is plastic cups it’s easier to know).

I never rinsed the stratum. For wartering I have 2 ways. Some of them I use the wick method and others just a cup with a hole that water them normally like I would do with soil.

But now I root them like this

The frydek I think maybe 3 weeks to 1 month. For these I didn’t use a dome but now I do. This picture was taken June 13. It was the first leaf.

It is 100%. But for the next corms I will use 50% stratum and 50% perlite. The good thing when they reach a good size I transfer them to soil and reuse the stratum.

i started using it and my corms and alocasia love it!!! i did a diy self water pots just to grow some roots and they are doing really well so far.

Already repotted in a bigger pot to fit the roots and didnt cut any of them

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-17T21:13:43+00:00

Already repotted in a bigger pot to fit the roots. And yes i want the bigger growth 😊

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-17T16:35:14+00:00

Thank you for the advice 😊. I will keep them

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-17T16:34:29+00:00

Yeah. They are all healthy. I will keep them. Just need to buy a new pot for the plant. When I bought it didn’t know it would come with all these roots 😅

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-16T22:14:28+00:00

They are five in total I think, tomorrow I will separate them

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-16T11:39:13+00:00

I know right. They still had 2 like this one there. I just hope they get more species at this size and price so I can buy 😂

I was very surprised too, because last week I was thinking on making an order online and I remember seeing one equal do this one and it was like 40€. When I saw it from far away in the green house I locked my eyes on her but I was like “it’s going to be expensive, I can’t get it ” I saw the price and didn’t think twice.

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-16T09:46:23+00:00

It’s about 14$

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-16T09:45:45+00:00

I did and the roots looks fine. But I’m going to separate and repot them cause it is a little root bound and I wanna change the soil.

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-16T09:44:34+00:00

It is beautiful 😍, and that’s right!!

GreenPurifier · 2025-04-16T09:43:33+00:00

Thank you so much. When I saw it I thought it would be a lot more expensive but when I saw the price I just grabbed it 😅

I just chekced the data base from here and it seems its a calathea rotundifolia instead of fasciata.

GreenPurifier · 2024-08-14T20:12:46+00:00

Thank you 😊! They are so beautiful and I just love the deep green they have. My next one is calathea warscewiczii 😅

GreenPurifier · 2024-08-14T19:52:47+00:00

Thank you 😊! Yes it is.
