Those look like roots to me! Yeah!

maybe I’m missing what you mean but it looks like roots to me.

The three big roots coming out of the aerial roots are not what I mean, I’m looking at all the white stuff building up on the aerial root

I’m not sure what that is. I would dump the water, clean the container and disinfect both the plant and the container with peroxide. I would gently rinse the plant to see if the white stuff washes off. Change the water weekly or when it’s dirty.

Hi, that looks like secondary roots growing from the big root, keep an eye on it and time will tell.

#### Tigerlilly ha respondido el 2023-10-14

looks like there are more roots! nice.

### Pliny the Elder a commenté le 2023-10-14

Those are root buds. Don’t wipe them off.

### Women are Water a commenté le 2023-10-14

New roots.

Aerial roots produce roots too! If you’ve ever put an aerial root into soil or a moss pole, they shoot out more roots to anchor the plant ☺️
