What to do if Rainbow Jade grows aerial roots

1. It may also be a normal phenomenon

If aerial roots grow when the plant is being grown, it may be a normal phenomenon. This is because the fleshy main root of the rainbow jade is slowly recovering when it is acclimatizing, so it is impossible to supply nutrients normally at this time. At this time, many aerial roots will be produced to absorb some water, so this is a normal phenomenon. If this is the case, then we should not worry about it too much and let it grow freely.

2. It may also be self-protection

During the growth process, this kind of succulent plant is generally top-heavy, so it will easily grow aerial roots. The aerial roots growing at this time are generally to support the plant and form a self-protection state. So we don’t need to care about it, just let its aerial roots continue to grow. After a period of time, these aerial roots will slowly disappear. So this situation is also the reason for the growth of aerial roots. Don’t worry too much about it, let it develop on its own.

3. It may be caused by insufficient nutrients

If the rainbow jade is not given enough nutrients when it is growing, it will also grow aerial roots, so at this time we have to change its pot. Prepare a pot with more sufficient nutrients to transplant it into. This will ensure its nutrient needs and the aerial roots will slowly disappear.

4. Caused by watering

The aerial roots of Rainbow Jade may also be caused by watering. Its plants generally contain a relatively large amount of water, so you need to be strict when watering it. Generally, due to the influence of temperature and humidity, it would not be appropriate to use a rigid watering time every time. We must observe the condition of the soil in the pot. If the edges of the soil turn white, it is time to water it. If you can't see what's going on inside the pot, you can tap the pot lightly with your fingers. If it sounds dull, you don't need to water it. If it sounds crisp, it's time to water it. Therefore, the problem of aerial roots should be solved according to different causes.
