Once an alocasia is dormant and makes a corm, that corm is like a bulb. It contains everything the plant needs to send up a new shoot. They shoot first, root later. Just put it in a very small container of soil. At that size I would start it out in a 2" container. Something the size of a Dixie cup. Once it's rooted and growing you can start stepping it up
