How do I remove this safely and encourage it to grow?
Hi my Regal Shield has a baby! Is this a corm or is it a leaf/something else? Last time a leaf popped up and I thought I could cut it and replant it but ended up killing it. Not sure what to do but I would love to have another plant that’s grown from mum! Xx

@UrbanePygmyiris also you can’t cut a leaf and regrow it but if it is indeed a corm that is rooting you will see a leaf soon enough and I just let them hang out with mom if they are already rooting until they get bigger and then you can transplant it into it’s own pot. That is what I’m doing with my Frydek waiting until the pup gets bigger. I hope this helps
@UrbanePygmyiris They are gorgeous leaves . It certainly does look like a pup . These tags will help you to the experts on these #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #AlocasiaAddicts and then @PoisedAlbo She has many of these . Good luck
@UrbanePygmyiris I can’t see really well from the picture but does it look like a little nut 🌰 with brown skin on it? She is absolutely gorgeous. This is mine with a pup I just let grow and my regal shield
@PoisedAlbo thank you for the advice, yes I killed the last leaf after it sprouted 😔 but thank you very much for advising it’s the info I needed! I think it is a corm as it looks like a nut. X
@UrbanePygmyiris if it’s a corm you can pluck it and put in a cup with a lid in a bright sunny spot in damp moss I’m currently baking as I like to say 14 corms all from different alocasia
