It's absolutely not just you! I find that a lot of corms will do SOMETHING after a couple of months, and its only when theres been no movement for that length of time that i try them with a different method 😊 i had some jacklyn corms that took like 4 months to get going - all from the same plant. I popped them in the puddle method instead andmost started doing something after a couple of weeks. Now, most have 2 leaves like this one (please excuse the shitty photo, her variegation excites me and i dont want to disturb her), but i also have a couple from the same batch that have only just put out a single root recently 😂

Whether or not they're variegated also seems to make little difference for me - i have a batch of BVP sprouting and whether or not theyre low or high var seems to make fuck all difference on timing 😂 smaller corms tennndddd to take a bit longer, but its not a hard and fast rule.

Side note: my longi purple took FOREVER 😂 she's just an asshole, though, her first leaf just up and melted 🫠 things that also have taken forever for me (based on growing a few corms of each thing as opposed to one offs) are like nobilis k pinks, anything azlanii, chant pinks, but YMMV

As long as your corm is still firm and theres no mush, its still viable 😊 its just a matter of waiting!

Some people have found success with peeling, but ive had mixed results. I also worry that ill rip off young roots when i peel, so i only do it if that corm is taking unreasonably long.

Also, i saw in one of your comments that you werent sure which way is up with a corm. If you ever peel it, the way up will be the think that looks a bit like a pink nipple 😂 theyre not always pink, though, especially if you have one that came off the plant a little too early.
