I’m still kind of new to keeping succulents. I’m noticing that a lot of my succulents are growing aerial roots from their stems. I’m not sure if they need more water or something else….

Mine do this all the time but they don’t have any actual issues. I think it’s just a sign of higher humidity around the plant.

I think they all do this, I have a lot of plants like these and they all start to grow areal roots at a certain point
