Aerial root

I’ve notice the ‘stems’ come off the previous leaf. You might notice little white edges on the stems, eventually a new leaf will poke its head out and emerge from the white edge/cocoon if that makes sense. Really cool how they grow.

I love the explanation 🤣 I type similarly when using words to type and explain.

Thanks! lol. I’m not so good with words so I tend to be overly descriptive im told.

Thanks! That sounds very interesting! This is the first time I’ve seen anything like this on my pothos 😁

It’s very cool to watch new leaves pop out and start making a vine. I’ve found it fascinating! I’ve noticed on mine after my new leave unfurls it’ll start getting an areal root nub. If you pop it into a damp moss pole it’ll start to climb too!
