3 Ways to Propagate Alocasia

1. 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗦: you can separate the corms, which are underground storage structures that produce new shoots, and propagate them using your favorite propagation medium. You’ll probably find them when repotting, especially if your alocasia hasn’t been repotted in a while!

2. 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠 𝗖𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦: you can cut a healthy stem from the parent plant and let it callus over before planting in a well-draining soil mixture to encourage root growth or using your favorite propagation medium to allow it to grow new roots before potting it up in soil. The mother plant will continue to grow and you could end up with multiple shoots from one stem on the mother plant!

3. 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡: you can divide the parent plant by separating the rhizomes or tubers into smaller sections, each with roots and shoots, and plant them individually to grow into new plants. You’ll often notice your plant growing babies and they’ll have their own roots which make them easy to separate and pot up right away! This is probably the easiest of the 3 methods.
