Yep! Mine did this. I let them grow and have recently repotted them separately.

Did it like grow into a new separate stem?

#### Kirsty replied on 2023-07-18

Yes. When I separated them, each had subterranean roots and an aerial root.

#### Arion replied on 2023-07-18

Oh boy! I can’t wait!

### Bigredamazon commented on 2023-07-18

Yup. Mine is doing that as well.

### MattCT commented on 2023-07-18

Mine does too! I grew it from seed, and it’s like it’s little brother, no fenestration, just small leaves juxtaposed by his big brother haha
