That’s just so cute! It makes me laugh!

My 4 year old named it! That’s his favorite part

### Erika commented on 2025-06-18

I love this game, did the seller give you a list of possibilities?

#### Plant dreams replied on 2025-06-18

Not specifically but over watching his lives he has over 32 different alocasias and he just mixes so many of the corms.. so honestly the options are endless..

#### Erika replied on 2025-06-18

Oh, that is just crazy. I don’t think I could name 32 varieties. LOL

#### Plant dreams replied on 2025-06-18

I got 4 more corms with roots I’m waiting on to sprout to!! Maybe we can compare them!

#### Plant dreams replied on 2025-06-18

I didn’t even know there was that many before he said it! They are all so beautiful but this is my budget friendly way 🤣 I paid between $1 and $5 per corm

### Erika commented on 2025-06-18

I’ve only done a mystery corm once, and I’m pretty sure I know what it is now…

#### Erika replied on 2025-06-18

I think this is a gageana aurea. I think I was given six possibilities and this seems to be the closest match.

I don’t see variegation yet but i definitely think it’s like the “original” one. (Sorry newer to plants)

You can rule out most of the dark varieties; thier new leaves come in dark. This makes me want a mystery corm

#### Plant dreams replied on 2025-06-19

I definitely recommend it!! It's super fun! And if it's not something you're looking for you can always trade!
