Roots from the stem???

[Drewbie]

I cut off the top of a wisteria plant due to a algae out break and the fact it was to tall but kept the bottom because I wanted to see if it would grow back.

Now I see this. It seems it has roots growing out every few inchs and I am not sure why

What do I do with it now??

sorry the picture was taken with my cell phone.

I have seen this behavior in other plants in my aquariums, and I'm generally not too troubled by it; the plant is already showing shoots here above the roots. It will rebound, hopefully quite nicely.

 

[Drewbie]

do you cut off the roots coming out or leave them? it does take away from the look of the plant

Your plant looks healthy and I do see new growth as Johnny mentioned. Many stem plants send out those "hair roots" and they can be clipped off without any harm. Whenever I trim my stem plants I pinch those roots off with my fingers.
