I have one of those growing about and inch away from my alocasia as well. I plan on letting it grow until other wise🤷🏾‍♀️

Seems a bit early to tell

Probably a leaf. But I agree with above 👆🏽 too early to tell

### victoria 🪴 commented on 2023-12-03

I had something similar that turned out to be a leaf

Plants can modify their tissue at will when producing a new shoot. What seems like an inflorescence can turn into a leaf shall the plant decide it needs to take advantage of more light, or a leaf turning into an inflorescence shall the plant decide its time to settled own and start a family.
