Unveiling
Corms
Corms are specialized underground plant structures, often mistaken for bulbs.
These treasures are characterized by their solid, bulbous appearance, marked by a compact and swollen stem base.
Corms differ from bulbs in that they lack the layered structure of an onion or tulip bulb.
Corms vs. Bulbs
What Sets Them Apart?
Their main function is to store essential nutrients and energy, ensuring the plant's survival during harsh conditions.
As the plant enters its dormancy phase, the corm becomes its lifeline, supplying the energy and resources needed for regrowth when the conditions are favorable.
Corm's Role in
Survival and Thriving
Corms are also the birthplace of new growth.
They house dormant buds within, ready to spring to life when the time is right.
This remarkable feature allows for rapid, often stunning regrowth when corm-bearing plants are introduced to a hospitable environment.
