Hi friends! I’ve just bought this Calathea de Makoy and when I was in the process of putting her in a new pot I saw these at the bottom in the roots. Does anyone know what these are and if I should remove them?

Those are rhizomes! Don’t remove them as they are actually part of the root system. They are for nutrient storage and reproduction.
