Root or Stem ?
Default Root or Stem ?
This is a mother plant that gave me 2 Keikis so I already detached and planted Keikis and doing very well Mother plant has lots of new air roots and normal roots. I recently discovered this coming out between 2 leaves> is that a stem? or yet another air root? -I noticed air roots have a bullet shiny kind'a look but this one doesn't. PS: i noticed the crown is busting every which way, due to new roots coming out. Thanks in advance. I just want to know if this is a Air root or a Flower Stem. I added a new Pic Momma and babies

OMG, I'm so happy and relived whew I thought I was going to loose this mother plant few months back. Cuz she had root rot and while giving me 2 Keikis I was afraid to clean her roots and repot her. I did and it payed off. Just yesterday I repoted Babies and Momma on same pot. I bet next Spring is going to be SPECTACULAR. Any advice?
