# Hello! I recently noticed some interesting node growth coming from…

_Posted by izzy on 2025-09-03_

Hello! I recently noticed some interesting node growth coming from one of my monsteras old leaves, and I wanted to see what y’all thought of it.

I was quite confused at first thinking it may be some sort of weird new vine growth, but it looks more thick and hardy like a root node that somehow grew through the old petiole crevice like a new leaf. Any ideas? Am I just being a novice and this is something super normal and simple?

lol I think it’s a aerial root that is just growing up at a weird spot 😆

A normal occurrence, just not normally in that spot, but I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with
