    I think those are new leaves that haven’t unfurled yet

      You’re right! They’re little leaves! Don’t touch

    They do have aerial roots but like the other comment said, that looks more like new growth points/leaves

    aerial roots will mostly be little brown nubs on your vines (or a bit longer and attached to your walls given the chance 🤪)

    To add on to what everyone else already said, it looks like you cut it so that’s probably why they are growing out of the stem like that. They grow from nodes if they can’t grow from the last leaf. I have several plants that started dying in the store so they lost their last leaf. They are doing this too. It’s cool to watch!😊

      didn’t even think about that you’re so right!! I pruned her for the first time and she loved it

      Ive always wondered how the vine would continue on once cut. I’ve wanted to try to propagate mine but too scared I’d stop her vine’s growth
