Does anyone know what is growing from that leaf? I don’t think it’s a new leaf since one is already unfurling. There’s also a second one on another part of the plant. Are they aerial roots?

    Yes that’s an aerial root

      Thanks! I’ve never seen one grow from the actual leaf stem, only the base, so I was so confused!

    Areal roots are so cool. The plant is feeling strong so it wants to climb up and get all the sunbeams. If you place that plant next to a wall those roots will grab on and heave the plant up the wall! I have a few doing that now and I love it. It's like my plants and my house are becoming one 🤣. My husband hasn't asked me about it...and I haven't told him that if we wanna paint walls in the living room, we may have a few issues. 👌 He'll be so thrilled to learn I've been encouraging house plants to grow into our walls. 😎

      Haha that’s amazing! I’ve heard this before but haven’t attempted it!

    It could be an aerial root or potentially a leaf that is coming in stuck. I’d leave it be and see what happens. If it’s brown, it’s a root. You can cut your plant under the root and make a new one.

      Thanks! I’ve done that with my pink syngonium and have had success, I just have never seen an aerial root come in before like that!
