Unfortunately no, those are roots.

Yeah there roots maybe move them to a deeper pot?

### The threeplantiers commented on 2025-07-30

Or put more soil in the pot on top of them

### Jessica commented on 2025-07-30

Oh boo. Pot is already pretty deep.

They must be growing and looking for more stability, nutrition, and moisture!

They’re definitely growing and the front patio is windy at times so they’re looking for more stability and getting stronger
