these are so close it’s hard to know what you’re referring to but i think you mean this aerial root. nothing to worry about with them really — they just do their thing

I’ve noticed that in my plants too. It seems relatively common. I think that the plant will activate multiple nodes as an insurance policy, but then focus most of its energy on the strongest node or node that gets the best light. That’s my theory anyways
