New root growth probably air roots

That is a relief thank you!

Whenever a plant doesn’t get enough sun or water into one stem or stalk it will produce air roots to take the water out of the air it’s a cool stressing technique

Can you pick one off to see if its scale? Bcz that's alot of new growth points. I've never seen that many. I would pick a few off and look at it. Then look on Google to make sure its not scale

Growth points nothing to worry about

Roots good job

I always tuck my stems back into pot cause they will shoot out new roots and grow bigger and bushier
