They’re aerial roots! Orchids are one of the only species that produce them but it’s a great sign and means that your orchid is doing great!

Thank you for the advice

Like the other comment said, aerial roots! I spray my orchid’s aerial roots with this orchid mist every week or two, but this is optional
