# Hi! I have this syngonium that I bought back in August. It’s grown…

_Posted by Maria on 2025-02-06_

Hi! I have this syngonium that I bought back in August. It’s grown tremendously in that time. I have noticed that one of the leaf’s steam has what looks like aerial roots (3rd picture) Has anyone had this happen to their plant? I’ve seen that giving them something to climb on or a support would help out but I’m a bit lost😅

I’m open to suggestions!

Those are aerial roots. Normal

Awesome! Any opinion on where a moss pole would be beneficial?

### Plantsmybeloved commented on 2025-02-06

Yep, those are aerial roots. I've never personally put mine in a moss pole, ive just staked them, but i see no reason a moss pole wouldnt be beneficial

### Mr Variegated commented on 2025-02-06

Honestly I wouldn’t put Syngoniums on a moss pole. They vine like crazy. Let them hang or just bamboo stake it.
