My Alocasia azlanii has been doing great and I \*think\* it produced a corm for me. I saw a little thing poking from the soil next to the main stem and tried to dig to uncover the whole thing without hurting too many roots. I don’t have a picture because I tried to pull it out nicely but I ended up breaking it. Is there a way to do it without pulling the plant out of the pot? I’m afraid it will get stressed and hate me.

Unless they group up near the base. You usually have to unpot them. Just disturb as little of the roots as possible. And I add a new dash of Mycorrhizal to help with any shock.

This is an example of what I mean. And this isn't the norm, generally they are in the soil media several inches and even in amongst the roots
