Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum is claiming my house! Aerial roots in nature serve to anchor themselves into their support structure like trees, buildings, or rocks. Indoors, they will make their way through carpet, wood concrete, you name it. They also use the aerial roots to absorb nutrients from their environment around them. Three things you can do with them: 1)Guide them back into the pot 2)Let them hang out of the pot but be sure watch for attaching. 3) Chop I personally chose to do 1 and 2
