    Hi everyone. There is something growing on an aerial root of my miltionpsis. Is it part of the plant or a weed? Ive never grown miltoniopsis before. Ive only had it for 2 months now.

    Looks like a parasitic plant to me.

    That was nothing more than a guess, as I’ve never seen anything like it before, it it’s certainly not a part of the plant. Yes, I’d remove it.
