Hi! Does anyone know if these little bumps will become new stems? She needs a repot but I don’t want to break the little nub growth and tbh she’s growing and seems happy as she is right now x

you should wait to repot it and it might be new growth on the bottom by the soil

This what I think too… don’t want to disturb her or break anything. Excited!!

These are aerial roots, and won’t grow into new stems

#### Sarah replied on 2024-04-12

Omg I did not know they grew aerial roots! Thank you 🙂 do I need to repot it then? Xx

#### Riley replied on 2024-04-12

Not necessarily. A good way to check if it needs repotting is to pull it out of the pot, and if more than half of the visible soil is just roots, it’s time to upsize.
