There are mainly two aspects of aerial roots in fleshy plants that flower friends need to understand. One is that when the air humidity is high, plants naturally grow aerial roots, which is the same as the propagation principle of cutting branches to induce aerial roots for planting.

Another reason is that the aerial roots of fleshy plants indicate that there is a problem with the root system, including inability to support the main body, hypoxia, water shortage, and fertilizer deficiency. If it is newly planted, the emergence of aerial roots is a good phenomenon, and the plant is slowing down the roots. If you have an old plant with aerial roots, you might as well find the problem by combining the reasons mentioned above.

This may be because you stopped watering in winter to let it hibernate, but it has already ended hibernation and even produced new leaves and branches. At the same time, the air humidity is higher than the soil humidity, and the plant cannot absorb water, so it grows aerial roots to supplement water. In this case, you can stop the water cutoff and gradually supply water.
