Just bought a Monstera Thai Constellation, and I noticed three little bumps, at the bottom of a stem. Not quite sure what is it and I’m scared to find out 😅 Does someone know? Thanks for guiding a newbie!

If they are fairly small that could be scale. Try to scrape them off with your thumbnail. Do you find them anywhere else? I think I would do a preventative treatment just in case. You can use a granular systemic pesticide or spray them with all seasons oil or neem. You'll have to treat more than once and make sure you treat the whole plant.

Thank you!! They are the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen. I took a tissue with some rubbing alcohol to remove them. Haven’t found anything in them. I’ll keep my plant in quarantine, and I’ll go to get a pesticide treatment just in case. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

It looks like aerial roots to me. They're nothing to worry about if they are aerial roots :)

I was able to remove them with a tissue. So, I don’t think they were roots. Out of curiosity, wouldn’t it be surprising to have 3 aerial roots coming out form the same spot?

Three aerial roots can come from the same area. Check the bumps for signs of insect parts underneath. If no bugs, then, it could be aerial roots, odd growths or some old insect egg casings.

I think it was old insect egg casings since they were hollow and empty. I’ll still treat my plant, just in case. Better be safe than sorry, right?!

#### Sunnyさんが2025-04-28に返信しました

It shouldn’t hurt to treat it for pests.

#### Plantsmybelovedさんが2025-04-28に返信しました

Yep better safe than sorry
