My mom has this Golden Pothos, and I noticed today that it had these parasite looking things coming out of it. I’m not sure what it is, can anyone help?

    Those are aerial roots. They are completely normal! They use these as little feet to help them attach to things to give them more stability to grow bigger.

      Just a tip that plant will grow a lot faster and stronger if held/latched/tied to something holding them up creating stability which is the purpose of air roots which cause less gravitational weight to the leaves that come from the main stem

      I was thinking that too, especially because this one has some branches/ vines that are almost 4 feet long. Currently figuring out something to keep the vines up

      Try to look for the main stems to tie/latch

    If you want more Pothos you could cut that part off and put it in water to let the roots grow more. Then you can pot it and it will keep growing!
