Chonks, Corms & Cuttings Care Guide

Your new propagation has arrived! Follow these steps carefully to give your plant the best chance to grow strong and healthy.

🚨 Important First Steps

  • Remove masking tape and Polyfil immediately after receiving your plant.
  • Make sure the plant is sitting on top of the substrate with growth points or leaves facing upward.
  • Check the moisture level of the substrate before resealing the container.

💧 Moisture Guidelines

  • Keep the substrate nearly dry at all times.
  • If the substrate is too dry, add ONE small drop of water along the outer edge only.
  • Never allow water to touch the chonk or corm directly.
  • Condensation drops inside the container are a sign that it is too wet.

🌡️ Environment & Placement

  • Keep temperatures between 65–75°F.
  • Do NOT use heat mats.
  • Do NOT use grow lights.
  • Do NOT place in direct sunlight.
  • Keep the lid sealed and avoid repeatedly opening the container.

🌱 Monitoring Your Propagation

  • Check regularly for excess moisture or signs of rot.
  • Once leaves begin to sprout, up-pot if needed using the same substrate into our 5oz containers.
  • If leaves outgrow the container and the plant is not repotted in time, rot may occur.
  • Message us anytime if you have questions — we are happy to help!

✨ A Note From Greenthumb Collective

Every propagation grows at its own pace. Some may root quickly while others may take more time. Patience, proper moisture control, and a stable environment are the keys to success.
