RoJs have little sprouts on them, please help!!!

Only one yet doesn’t have these. They look like weeds, should I remove them? Are they parasitic??? I just got these!! The sprouts have white roots! #PLEASEHELP #RoJ #RoseOfJericho #weeds #hopefullyitdoesntdie #WhatIsHappening

I don’t know anything about this plant I hope someone knows the answer
Did you drown them to jumpstart them into turning green or did you keep them on a paper towel ... and for how long?

I usually toss these in my fish tank to get the going then I let them dry. Tossing them in my fishtank also kills anything that might be a pest (but I've never had pest issues with RoJs). If they have been on a paper towel, perhaps there was something mixed in with the RoJs when they were shipped.

I bet they aren't parasites. You can just pluck them out. (:
I think you should remove them the sprouts don’t look like rose of Jericho seedlings and are probably just weeds.Worst case scenario is the plant will be unharmed.
Thank you! My mother said she would like to put them in the paper towel for some reason, so I put them in the paper towel. I ordered it off Amazon and the reviews never had any issues wxcept the plant unfurling too slow. Is it just the paper towel?
@Fireplace was the paper towel used for anything before?
