I have what seem to be little roots growing from my pothos and monsters hydroponic system, are these normal? what causes them? btw my plant water is brown from hydroponic nutrients, not dirt :)

I think those are secondary roots. I hope they’re normal because mine that are in water also grow those lol

100% normal and healthy! The person above is correct, they are secondary roots.
