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

#### Kylee replied on 2024-07-10

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

### send\_nodes commented on 2024-07-10

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

### eatyacarbs commented on 2024-07-10

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

thanks everyone! never seen new leaves come straight out of the stem like that! there are TONS right at the soil level so i’m excited for a bushier plant

Amazing job!!! Mine started doing this last month and it’s been astounding to watch. Nice job!!!

#### plantmother replied on 2024-07-10

I just repotted her so hoping I didn’t stunt the growth 🤞🏼 i’ve never had luck repotting

#### eatyacarbs replied on 2024-07-10

these are pretty forgiving, i’m sure it will appreciate it

### Succulent❤️Mama commented on 2024-07-10

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!😊

#### plantmother replied on 2024-07-10

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

#### Snowstorm replied on 2024-07-11

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

### Dondoo52 commented on 2024-07-11

Yup, newbies! BTW, I love that plant’s name!

#### plantmother replied on 2024-07-11

thank you!!
