# My pathos is starting to get his aerial roots! Do I need to do…

My pathos is starting to get his aerial roots! Do I need to do anything to keep up with them? Do they need something to grab onto as they grow?

You can leave them be, or add something for them to grow on. Whatever your choice.

My neon half grows up the wall, and half dangles.

I absolutely love that look. Do you use little brackets for the stems?

#### exitJiraffe replied on 2023-09-22

Yes, they’re meant for network cables. You can find them in most hardware sections of stores. I think I got mine from Walmart. They come in white, but I only had black on hand, they’d blend into the wall a lot better if they matched. I suppose they could be painted.

Used some white ones on the tetrasperma, a lot more discrete looking.

You can wrap them around in the pot and make a push your plant

I’ve always loved hanging pothos.. but i just learned If you use a trellis or pole and let them climb they can grow to be this big…. Both plants in this photo are golden pothos.
