The previous owner of the plant probably cut another stem off. This might have been because the stem died and they were preserving energy.

That’s kinda what I was thinking!

Hmm I’m not sure. Looks like one of their tubers which is required to propagation.

I could also see that being possible we shall have to see

If you take it out of the pot, that would be the only way to tell. If it’s a tuber there wouldn’t be as many roots attached to it
