Well I've potted mine up in pots with the little green shoots showing on the surface.

4 of the 6 showing shoots left the other 2 on the window sill

 

Help plz, i potted my colocasia, then saw the post that it rots easily. So i took them out and checked and yes thee was white mould on it. Then i washed them with peroxide 3% and put them in bag so i can monitor them and put them in airing cupboard. They got even more mould in 12h .. Toom them out of the bag and put them in again and they are dry now. But i am worried that they may just dry up now. Isnt it? What should i do?

Not sure @minki , mine seam to be very slow even though in a heated propagator and under lights.

 

Ok, so my bulbs are in the airing cupboard and i spray water on them twice a day... I hv noticed that some of the buds look like they are getting bigger by the day... Right now they look like tiny lumps all around the surface.. i m planning to keep doing the same until proper leaves are out and then may be will put under light.. outside its still unpredictble, so planning them to move to compost after proper growth starts showing but still keeping inside till may.... Will upload pics when the lumps start looking even more lumpier:p
Any suggestions

Just a quick update
Mine are starting to grow although slowly, not under lights anymore just in the heated propagator in the window sill.

 

thats awesome @mowgley the buds on mine are getting bigger too slowly but surely :P still nowhere near lovely leaves like you. a quick question, when should I move the bulbs into a compost? is it after first proper roots start showing or when the leafy buds start getting green. They are whitish right now.

 

Hi @minki , I potted mine in compost when the green eyes were getting swollen.
Then place them just sticking out of the compost.
