Birdie started rising out of her pot… now I know why 😆 I didn’t mess with her much and just gave her a slightly larger pot for now!

Wow! I have a feeling that might be going on in mine too… i’m going to check tomorrow. Mines a baby but looks like it rising up too. The peacock certainly likes to drink a lot of water! Now I know why!  
Don’t you feel like its roots are so creepy alien centipede like? Every time i repot one I get a little squeamish. And that doesn’t happen easily to me. 🫣

I just reported my spider plant and it had those chubby roots and they freaked me out too!

Spider plant roots are so crazy! When I bought mine, the roots were growing out of the starter pot! I maneuvered him out and it was just roots no soil! I wish I took a picture :)

They are SO creepy looking! I was not expecting that what I took the plant out of the pot lol

I’ve never seen roots like that, creepy!

#### Tiffany replied on 2023-07-12

They were a surprise for sure!

I’m glad I saw yours before I had to replant! Mine is a rattlesnake plant. I’ll try to be prepared for whatever.
