I bought some alocasia bulbs about a week ago, and left em in the plastoic bag:S. Their still right solid, but lots of th eoutside paper feels moise, almost like the ends of a corn cob.

Also.... I cant tell what end is up. Theres a point on one end, and it LOOKS like it maybe a small leaf growing or a root. And the other round end, has about 100 small bumps, which im assuming are roots... help please LOL

Got this from another forum

Sounds right

Mark

Unless I'm highly misinformed, photo 2 is the bottom, and photo 1 is the top. The small round scars on photo 2 are the spots where old roots were removed.

Actualy, that looks like a colocasia ( same things the bottoms on both are identical)..... Alocasia has paper around it ( mine does atleast...)
