Does anybody know why this is happening on my philodendron billietiae? Most of the roots have grown down toward the reservoir, except for this one. The plant seems pretty happy and is working on a new leaf.
Also, it really needs something to climb. I would like to use something lower maintenance than a moss pole, but I know that’s really the best for aerial roots. I’d like to hear people’s thoughts!

Those aerial roots are normal for philodendra, it's how they climb trees. It's a sign your plant is happy, and looking for expansion.

Perhaps it just loves the humidity of the air? Don't think it's going to be a problem

Roots growing up and out of substrate?
