Jellybean growing fibers?

I’m not sure quite what to call them, but my jellybean plant has been steadily growing these three sort of fibers for the last week now. They’re coming from a spot where a leaf had dropped off, which happened about two months ago. Should I be worried??

@Bees hi Kenzie, I wondered about these too when my jelly bean plant started to grow them but they are quite normal.

β€œAdventitious, or aerial roots, grow for added stability. They’re also very common on many succulent species, jelly beans included. Sedum rubrotinctum are a natural ground cover. If this little guy was out in your garden bed, he’d grow up, shoot out some roots, fall over, root, and repeat the process as he creeps and spread along

They’re nothing to be concerned about, and can be ignored or snipped off if you prefer.”
