I’m Stacey — I grow rare alocasias, I got tired of losing corms to rot, and I started making the tools I wished existed. Now I print them for your collection, too.
Corms sit above the water — roots reach down, corms stay dry.
Resized larger for fit and room for that first leaf to grow.
Designed, printed & packed by me — I use these every day.
Step-by-step instructions live right here — scan & grow.
Everything is 3D printed and packed by me at BotaNova. Pick your color on the risers, check out on Etsy or Shopify — same prices, same care either way.
The puddle-method riser that made my corm season easy. Honeycomb platform holds your corm up out of the water in its own clear cup. 2.5″ size — more room for leaves. You pick the color.
The whole setup in one box: 6 corm risers with clear cups (a 5-pack + a single) plus the 3-piece scoop set. Pick your riser color. Add anything else to hit $35 and your US order ships free.
Three textured scoops for filling little pots, top-dressing, and moving substrate without the mess all over your shelf. The set in this photo is from my own grow space.
Venom Leaf and Scalprum Leaf designs. Square pots sold as self-watering kits — printed sleeve + insert included. A pretty home that waters from below.
Clear cups made for watching roots happen — perfect with risers for corms, cuttings, and seedlings. See the growth without disturbing the plant.
A snug, decorative home for your favorite small plants. Printed with the same care as everything else in the shop — made to be looked at, not hidden.
Usable today with any BotaNova corm riser + clear cup. The whole idea: the corm never sits in water. It sits above a shallow puddle, stays dry, and sends roots down to drink. That’s what stops the rot.
Inside the clear cup, top to bottom: corm → riser → water. If the water touches the corm, pour a little out.
Drop the honeycomb riser into the clear cup so it sits flat. That’s your platform — no tools, no setup.
Pour in a shallow puddle so the water line stays below the top surface of the riser. This is the puddle method. Less is more — you can always add a splash later.
Set your corm right on the honeycomb. Any orientation works — you don’t have to fuss over which end is up. Just place the corm.
Roots will grow down through the honeycomb to the puddle. Keep the puddle topped up below the riser, give it bright, indirect light, and watch for that first leaf — the 2.5″ riser gives it room.
Pour some out. A wet corm is a rotting corm. The roots do the drinking, not the corm.
Top up the puddle, still below the top of the riser. Check every few days.
That’s the win. Keep doing what you’re doing — steady light, steady puddle.
My own design, currently in development — One System. Endless Growth. A modular station with a water-reservoir base, a clear dome, and inserts you swap for whatever you’re growing. When it launches, the QR code on the station will land right here.
Fill the base with water and watch the window. Keep the level between the MIN and MAX marks — not below, not above.
Pick the insert for the job and drop it in: corm riser for corms, 2-inch pot insert, tissue culture insert, or the universal basket. One base, many jobs — that’s the whole point.
Set your corm or plant into the insert you chose. For corms on the riser insert, any orientation works — just place the corm.
Lower the clear dome over the base and lock the clips. The dome holds in the humidity your starts need, and you can watch everything through the clear lid.
Twist the vent on top of the dome to open or close airflow. More closed = more humidity. More open = more fresh air. Adjust a little at a time as your plant grows.
Glance at the MIN/MAX window to check water instead of opening the dome every day. Top up when it nears MIN, and let it grow.
By day I’m a union journeyman heavy-equipment operator and piledriver. The rest of the time, I’m a plant person — always have been. BotaNova Botanicals is my one-woman shop here in Louisiana, and everything in it started on my own shelves.
I grow and sell rare, collectible variegated Alocasia and Monstera — the kind of plants you label by hand and check on like pets. (If you’ve seen my shelf photos, you’ve seen the labels: Dragon Tooth, Azlanii Gold, Sedenii Aurea, Maharani Albo?) When corm season came around, I was losing good corms to rot in jars of water like everybody else. The risers changed that for me — corm up out of the water, roots reaching down — and corm season got easy. That’s why I sell them: not because I set out to be a product designer, but because they worked in my own collection first.
So I started 3D printing plant accessories for myself, friends wanted them, and that became BotaNova. I print, pack, and ship every order myself. The big project behind it all is my Propagation Station — a modular system I’m developing so one base can handle corms, pots, tissue culture, and cuttings with a swap of an insert. It began as something I needed for my own growing, and it’s the reason this brand exists. The accessories you see today are me building the name and the customer base ahead of that launch, one happy corm at a time.
Thanks for being here. Plants really do make life better — I’ve built my life around proving it twice over, on the job site and in the greenhouse.
“These corm risers are very much worth the price. I'm coming back for more!”— Etsy customer
