Are all of these little growths on my black velvet alocasia going to be new leaves? I’m counting 8 right now and am very surprised/excited if they will be new leaves!

She shed two flowers about a month ago

It looks like it. They seem to be corms getting ready to sprout 😱

Oh wow!! Is there anything special I should do or just leave them be? This is my first alocasia!

I have never had my alocasia do this. They give corms but they are usually attached to a little stem. The way yours looks, I don’t see how you could unattach them. I would just leave them be and see what happens 👀 if you see the possibility to remove them, you can and grow them separately 😊
