Air roots = underwatering?
So if a plant is putting out air roots, does that mean it is under watered? My new little Sedeveria is just a baby. It has a few air roots, but also had some yellow & some dried up leaves this week. I'm not sure if those leaves shriveled and died due to overwatering or not watering enough.

@Plantcraze I messed up the post and can't fix the picture. It was supposed to be about my Irish Bouquet, Brando. Two air roots barely visible, but sizeable (each is about 0.75 inch). Here is the right picture.
@PoisonIvys Thanks. I will try some Plant Food first. I don't have any diatomaceous earth, and can't imagine it would need much, but will look for some at the local farm store.
@UltraKoreanfir thanks for the best answer 😊🥰
I use a silica additive for hydro set ups because I keep so many plants in water it’s just easier that way for me to add it to the watering can rather than mess with “this much for that size pot” 😅
I know Amazon is still around the cheapest for diatomaceous earth but I will always recommend buying local from “the little guy” rather than big chain stores or online. Etsy might have something too 😊
