Default roots in the most unexpected places

Just out of curosity, does anyone know why roots just seem to appear in the

They're too healthy. Try not treating them so well!


Are you sure that's the reason? I have a Rosette sword (Echinodorus sp.)
which looks miserable (leaves are bent and deformed, etc.), but it has a
long "stem" with some more poor-looking new leaves and a whole bunch of
long, white roots that grow even from the upper 1/2 inch of the stem, just
below the water surface. My other plants aren't doing well either...

Regards!
