I planted this from a mixed seed. I \*think\* it looks like a ghost plant? It’s long and spindly. What are these “hairs” in the long stems?

That looks a lot like one that I have, not exactly sure what type it is though. I believe those are roots but I may be wrong

They look like they could be roots but they’re so far out of the soil. I have no idea if I should bury them, chop them, or what?!

I have the same issue with my Kalanchoe

They are roots! Planta likes to name all succulents that shape ghost plants. I don’t know what the proper name is, but you can treat it exactly the same. You can cut the stems off and plant them deeper and propagate some of the leaves if you’re worried about the “leggy” growth. Don’t get rid of the potted stems because they can also produce new leaves.

Those are air roots. It’s a sign of a healthy plant. Good job!
