Product description
The Alocasia ‘Tyrion’ is a dark, dramatic hybrid-type Alocasia that tends to love warmth, humidity, and airy roots. From a corm, it behaves similarly to many jeweldark Alocasias: slow at first, then suddenly fast once roots establish.
Best Medium for a Corm
Great options:
* Fluval Stratum
* Perlite + sphagnum moss
* Pon
* Tree fern fiber mix
You want:
* airflow
* moisture retention
* but NEVER soggy conditions
Corms rot extremely fast if they stay wet without roots.
Temperature
This is one of the most important factors.
* Ideal: 75–85°F
* Below 70°F can stall growth.
Heat mats can dramatically speed rooting and sprouting.
Humidity
* Aim for 70–90% humidity during sprouting.
* Prop boxes and humidity domes work very well.
BUT:
* crack the lid daily
* keep some airflow moving
Warm stagnant air = fungus and rot risk.
Light
* Bright indirect light.
* Strong grow lights are excellent.
* Avoid harsh direct sun on fresh sprouts.
Once mature, Tyrion usually develops richer darker foliage under stronger light.
Watering
The biggest mistake is overwatering before roots form.
* Keep the medium barely damp.
* Do not repeatedly saturate the corm.
Once roots establish:
* water more thoroughly
* allow slight drying between waterings
Fertilizer
Wait until:
* roots are established
* at least one hardened leaf forms
Then:
* weak balanced fertilizer every 2–3 waterings
Common Corm Behavior
Totally normal:
* tiny first leaf
* pauses between leaves
* occasional leaf melt
* slow starts
Alocasias often focus on roots first.
Common Problems
Mushy corm
Usually caused by:
* cold temperatures
* stagnant air
* overly wet medium
Weak floppy growth
Usually:
* insufficient light
* immature roots
* low warmth
Stalled growth
Often caused by:
* cool temperatures
* compact media
* inconsistent moisture
Transition to Soil
Once it has:
* multiple healthy roots
* 2–3 leaves
Move it into a chunky aroid mix:
* orchid bark
* perlitepumice
* coco chips
* quality potting mix
Pro Tip
Dark-leaf Alocasias like Tyrion usually color up best with:
* bright light
* warm roots
* steady feeding
* high humidity
Once established, they tend to become much less dramatic than they are during the corm stage.
