Help new plant mom. The plant apps tell me she is sick but I feel like she looks good. Are these good aerial roots?

Do you have any concerns that she’s sick? Or are you just randomly submitting pictures? if the second one then AI is just going to find something that they think is wrong even if there’s not.

#### Flores replied on 2025-01-21

Ok thank you. I was just worried because I know nothing about plants and AI was saying it looks very unhealthy. I wasn’t sure if fuzzy roots was a bad thing

The tips are dried out and may have some rot on them. I’d remove any squishy mushy roots and treat with hydrogen peroxide/water solution

Other than that keep on and plant on my friend

Very rude comment about randomly submitting photos. Not very welcoming.

How is that rude??? If you’re taking offense, then you misunderstood my question LOL chillll

You can ignore the aerial roots. You can even cut them off. They can come in several shades and consistency. There is no standard. They are needed if the plant has to find its own water or has to climb structure to find its own light.

The plant looks healthy, btw.

#### Flores replied on 2025-01-21

Thank you so much :) I was concerned. ☺️

Or you could bring the vines back to the pot and stick those aerial roots into the soil. Just something you could do if needed, doesn't look like it needs it now, looks full 😂. A healthy plant indeed.

That’s a beauty! You’re doing great with her. Don’t worry about those aerial roots. I have a monstera with ARs 6 feet long. They’re coming to get me lol Welcome to the fun world of plants!
