First air root. 😐  
I know it’s not harmful and I can prune it but just sharing my eh feeling about it.

I’m curious, why do you prune them? 😌

#### Toshiraaa ha risposto il 2023-05-27

For aesthetics. I’m going to leave it and just guide it into the soil once long enough or get a smaller moss pole for it to latch on to and climb.

oh okay! cool that’s what i do also.

If you have an air root, may be rootbound and need a bigger pot.

#### Toshiraaa ha risposto il 2023-05-27

A little googling saying that’s not true.

#### Jean84 ha risposto il 2023-05-29

In the wild, the air roots act as more stability for the plant as it grows.

Wait a second- OHHHHH! I though that you meant that roots were coming out of the pot… sorry I didn’t look at the picture good enough- 😅
