I’ve been propagating this Umbrella Tree stem and today I noticed some of the roots are purple. Is this normal? I’ve propagated my fair share of plants and understand that certain plants have different colored roots but I’ve never actually seen purple before 👀

I’ve never propitiated this plant before, but with other ones I have I’ve gotten purple roots, it’s normal
