Still learning a little about this plant and am wondering what these little bumps are and if they’re normal?

That’s where aerial roots grow out of !

### Allie commented on 2023-07-01

Yeah, those are aerial roots. Completely normal!

yep, a node for aerial roots.

if you place the bump below the newest leaf in water, it will grow roots while still attached to the main plant.

you can see that i’ve done this with my njoy pothos. then the roots can be placed in the pot of soil, or the section of plant can be cut off and placed in soil to make a new plant.

no worries, great to connect with other planty people on planta!  
they should create a friend function so that you can keep up with other people’s plant progress.
