aerial root

[eub]

The downstairs philodendron sent out a long downward-probing arc of aerial root, which we stuck into a little secondary pot. Now a new root has come straight up out of the soil, and is feeling about.

Is there a U-turn in there?

What would it like to find in its tertiary pot if it is to settle down?

Love and a good job?

Prey?

My ficus, Mortimer, has more than once grown roots into the back of a computer. I have wondered if if liked the warmth, or something, but maybe it just hates computers.

If it can get two roots in, it can tap +5V off the power supply and take over the world.

boing!

Great. After reading this post, every time I see the philodendron picture on my Friends page, I imagine a cartoonish boing! sound.

Er, more water? My philodendron mostly sent out aerial roots when I wasn't watering quite enough (which was most of the time).

Really! Hm, maybe we'll try watering some more.
