Probably air roots. I haven’t seen it on my own rubber ficuses, but I know the ficus/fig family in general can grow some pretty funky roots. I think it’s more likely to occur in very high humidity, probably at the greenhouse where it was grown. Interesting find!

I didn’t know air roots were a thing! Thank you!

Yeah, no problem! There’s quite a few plants that grow them, even tomato plants! They look different depending on the type of plant, but it seems like humidity is the common denominator for when they show up, at least from my observations

I believe the correct term is ‘skregg’ 😀
