Hello, I am brand new to umbrella plants (this is my first time even seeing one) and found these black mounds on the stem. They don’t come off when I rub them, if anyone could tell me if this is a problem or just a normal umbrella thing.

I am aware it needs repotting, I want it to acclimate first.
