Pothos Growing Aerial Root
Pothos Aerial Root: A Natural Phenomenon
Aerial roots are a completely normal occurrence for pothos plants. These roots are the plant’s natural way of seeking out moisture and nutrients. In their native environment, they use these root to climb trees and reach for sunlight.
Here’s what you can do with those aerial roots:
- Leave them be: You can simply let the aerial roots dangle. They won’t harm your plant or your home.
- Propagate your plant: You can use the aerial roots to propagate new pothos plants. Simply cut a section of the vine with an aerial root and place it in water or soil.
- Guide the roots: If you want to encourage your pothos to climb, you can guide the aerial roots onto a moss pole or trellis. This will help the plant grow taller and fuller.
Remember: Aerial roots are a sign of a healthy, thriving pothos plant. There’s no need to worry or remove them unless they’re causing aesthetic concerns.
