Update!! My chalksticks that I was concerned about leaning, they are doing wonderful. After some research they do in fact do that and one comment from @Jilliebeanstalk told me they reached for the ground in nature, in the last few days he has been growing like CRAZY, you can see on his plant card he’s made a lot of growth and even new roots I saw going into the soil!! And on the second picture what is this? My first thought was an aerial root but I was hoping to get some more opinions! #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PlantAddict #NewPlantMom
