I found all of these little guys in my parlor palm…. Do you use these to propagate? I’ve never owned one before. Some of them have roots growing from them. If so, how do you propagate them?

Interesting, those look like corms. Parlor palms don’t grow corms or bulbs (I don’t think) are you sure you identified the plant correctly? If I am mistaken please tell me.

This is the plant! Google says they do have seeds which you can propagate though so maybe it’s seeds and not corms? It was in a pot with a croton and manjula pothos but it was tangled in the roots of the palm
