Hello! I have a question. I’m pretty sure these are California Sunsets (they came in a mixed package from amazon, as a present). I know air roots don’t necessarily mean something bad is going on, but… why are these guys so insistent on growing so many of them? I’ve beheaded a couple, and grown some babies from leaves, and all of them are growing air roots. Roots that started in the soil grew up and out and are now air roots. Do you know why they might be doing that? I water them whenever the burros’ tail gets fairly wrinkly bottom leaves, so I don’t think I’m overwatering them. Maybe every 2-4 weeks?

The other reasons they throw out aerial roots is because they’re getting tall and are trying to grab onto something and balance themselves. They’ll also do this if they don’t have any more room in their pot for more roots. They look beautiful and nothing seems wrong so it’s up to you if you’d like to cut off those roots or behead them and plant those roots. Or just leave them be. :)
