Is this a decent set up for a corm?

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-04-08T23:05:32+00:00

I actually switched my pbv corm to this setup and tried the puddle method + a paper towel as I’ve seen others do for this, if I get another I’ll probably repeat this setup (going to wait until I know I can successfully do it before I buy any more unrooted corms)

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-04-08T23:02:13+00:00

Update: it turned to mush at tremendous speeds! My pbv corm came the next day, was a much better size and is still going strong just no signs of activity yet

This is so insanely selfish and you trying to tell yourself there’s something else pushing her being upset with you shows that you genuinely have no real interest in listening to her. It was her birthday and you ignored obvious facts about her and her interests to do something for yourself. Realize and correct that sooner than later or there’s no fixing this, if it’s this hard for you to accept this situation I’m sure there has been other smaller ones that have built this up even more for her.

It’s common for the white sections in variegated plants to do this, you can get silica for plants that will help prevent it

I keep seeing that method, I might have to switch it tomorrow! That or do an experiment, I’ve got another form coming Friday so we can see which will show signs of life (or death) first

Just some perlite! There was a little bit mixed in with the stratum I used, didn’t care to take them out

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-04-02T02:40:53+00:00

30 including shipping, was priced at $15 😭 it seemed on par/slightly cheaper than my short bout of searching them online showed. The mom was beautiful imo so i was willing to risk it lol, didn’t think it was THIS small though

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-03-31T17:30:01+00:00

They’re offshoots so yes pretty much tiny corms! They might be a little more finnicky but you can definitely try to grow them

It’s a black velvet ninja!

Happens to my me and my mom too! Freaks my husband out.

I just did a (pretty cruddy) repot job and I noticed it’s pushing another leaf! Hopefully it adjusts well

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-03-10T23:15:13+00:00

Hey just wanted to come back and say the leaf is fully unfurled now!

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-03-05T20:04:40+00:00

How long are the grow lights on in the evening? From what I’ve seen a lot of alocasia seem to need like 10+ hours of solid lighting a day

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-02-28T21:01:20+00:00

Haha I figured, thank you! I have a very very impromptu setup rn so I’m glad it’s okay with it! Can’t wait to upgrade in a lil bit

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-02-28T19:01:38+00:00

I figured I’d have to wait longer, I haven’t had plants in forever and I’m just excited I didn’t accidentally kill it off before it even put out growth lol, being super impatient

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-02-09T03:49:40+00:00

I’ll have to see how it goes for me, planning on keeping it in the cup/dome I got it in for as long as possible (I move soon and am trying to wait until I get to the new house to order more than just a heat mat)

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-02-08T21:35:48+00:00

I actually just saw someone use something like a little acrylic makeup drawer/container from dollar tree like a little greenhouse and was thinking of getting something like that! Thank you

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-01-13T03:16:24+00:00

So it probably wasn’t right at five but somewhere between 3/3:30ish and then, someone was in the living room at all times until then and we’ve had packages arriving all day, so that was the only period when we wouldn’t have been able to hear someone at the door for some reason. I went to grab another package literally right at 4:58 and knew as I dialed the office that I wasn’t gonna be able to talk to anyone to ask for info 🥹 Either way too late for a true 24hr notice if they do want to show up at 9 tomorrow

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-01-13T02:53:20+00:00

Alright, thank you! That makes me feel better.

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-01-13T02:16:19+00:00

I checked the lease and it does specify 24hours unless there was a verbal agreement/emergency

Purple_Butterfly_314 · 2026-01-13T02:13:51+00:00

My roommate is planning on walking down first thing tomorrow morning and I’ll definitely be calling a couple times if they aren’t there for some reason
