I’m fairly new to alocasias. Are these baby plants in my black velvet?

Those are corms

#### Joycita replied on 2025-05-29

Should I leave them or take them out to propagate?

### molly commented on 2025-05-29

lol it always kills me when the corms shoot out of the soil 😂 i love it. if it were my plant, i would pluck those off and either shove it into the soil of the pot it’s currently in, or put them in their own little pots to make whole separate plants (:
