New shoots on the money plant are...

Hi

Which verb should I use for new shoots on a plant? Come? Come off?

Is this sentence OK?

See, the new shoots on the money plant are coming off.

Tom

PS: Comma after "see"?

Visible is not a verb, Hiya; it's an adjective.

Sprouting or appearing are possibilities.

Yes, coming out is good. Coming off doesn't work, though.

To me 'come off' means something detaching from something to which it was attached!

Thanks, Blue Jay, for the nice word "sprout".

What about "come up"? Would it work?

New shoots are coming up on the money plant?

Normally we talk about shoots coming up out of the ground, rather than coming up on the plant.
