My Pachypodium gaeyi has shown outstanding growth this year, and overall it looks healthy. However, I recently noticed these strange growths near the base of the plant, and I can't identify them.

Does anyone know what this is? Some kind of pathogen? The only other negative signs I've seen are a a few brown leaf tips.

Thank you so much for your help!!

Godness....never seen something like this.

Looks like additional roots, neither fungi nor malignant. IMHO

Looks like some new branches to me. But still no leafs.

I don't think Geayi branches that low

Pachypodium lamerei sometimes does like this.
Well, we will have to wait and see what these things are.

Yes. I know....but this is not lamerei.

I sincerely appreciate everyone's help. I will update this thread as I see any changes...

They don't quite look like branches to me, but I really don't know. Roots seem more likely. The climate here is quite humid, and maybe it was trying to get more moisture? Strange though.

UPDATE: they are still growing and looking more and more like root tips. I will get y'all a pic. I am no longer worried.
