Probably from the moisture coming from the soil. Pretty cool actually if you want to propagate

#### ellis🪻 svarade den 2023-11-03

would i propagate the same way as i did for the plant the first time? just cut it off and place it in the soil?

#### Women are Water svarade den 2023-11-03

Yes. Only this time if you cut where the roots are you already have a head start!🙌🏾

Since it curved and it’s close to the soil, the plant grows aerial roots both to anchor itself, but also just to procure more water and nutrients. It’s normal.
