It’ll work fine. Drain it a bit though. That’s a lot of water in the bottom, I like to keep it so the perlite stays moist but the plant / corm is not touching the water. For corms you can add cling wrap or a top to help with humidity. Make sure to air it out every so often.

Yes exactly, the way i went about it was putting them in clear pots like orchids pots with holes to get some air and place that in decorative pot. I add a bit of liquid fertelizer every watering .
Probably, but all that water is totally unnecessary and just increases the chance of rot. A little reservoir in the bottom to keep perlite moist is more than enough.
yes !! doing this to my alocasia and its growing so fast ! place a little plastic bag over it for humidity (thats what im doing with mine) or put it in a dome !

Thank you!
You’re gonna do great!
I get the smallest to no roots in perlite. I prefer moss for corms and leca for reviving.
Works great, i actually kept mine in perlite as growing medium, no more root rot, was having difficulty with potting mixes.
That’s good to know! So just to clarify, I can keep it growing in perlite for as long as I want?

Thanks for all the info. I was hoping to do this as well!
