Hi!! My silver dragon started shooting out these lil spiky offshoots. They almost look like corms, but I guess I've never actually seen them grow above soil. Is this what these are and they're just really immature?

Also, its last leaf had a really pale rectangle of color missing as it unfurled. I'm not too worried about it, but I'm just curious what that might be from. Thank you!!

Yes, those are the new tubers.They should grow into new offsets. That light triangle looks like uneven nutrition. What are you feeding and how often?

Hi Gina! Thanks for the reply. I thought so! I started giving it dilute DynaGrow once spring started when I water it (~1.5-2 weeks or so when it dries out). Also, I mostly bottom water except when I flush it every couple of waterings, which I do without fertilizer. Should I back hold off on feeding for a while?

Nope. It takes a lot of every to support new growth

Ok awesome! Thanks for the advice. It has been pushing out leaves like crazy so that makes sense!
