# My Black Velvet has been doing amazing and has even had offshoots. In…

_Posted by Jar on 2024-08-25_

My Black Velvet has been doing amazing and has even had offshoots. In the time span that I’ve had her the previous offshoots fell off or just died, so I started taking a hands off approach. Which has been working out in my favor, because new leaves were growing and she’s even flowered a few times. However, this is the first time I’ve had the offshoot get this big and it’s bulbous. im pretty sure it’s a corm that’s formed, but I want to be certain. I would appreciate any advice on what I should do to see it actually grow.

Thats 100% a crom. You can just snap that baby off and put it back into the soil or some other medium to grow it.
