# hey y’all i just repotted my Alocasia regal shield and i found these…

_Posted by lo \& plants on 2026-04-14_

hey y’all i just repotted my Alocasia regal shield and i found these corms!! (right side of the photo)  
however…. WHAT is this on the left side??? it doesn’t look like any corm i’ve ever seen and i’m convinced it’s some other kind of seed. can anybody help me identify this thing???

Weird. Kinda looks like a pumpkin seed 😅

Actually the more I stare at it. Maybe a small apricot pit? LMFAO

also corms! sometimes corms can form while attached to another corm. completely normal, and they'll both grow just fine :-)

I put some in a container, put some soil and then put saran wrap on it and watered it. I have some sprouting. I have no idea what kind they are. Good luck.
