It's flaming Katy,a kalanchoe,i have several of them and none of mine have roots like that.There is a lot of info on google,as i just went there and looked up flaming Kathy and that's where it took me,and those look like what i have .
It's a pretty hardy plant.Do you have it inside or outside.Mine live outside,then again i'm in S.calif.
Kathi

I have mine inside, I live in Pennsylvania. The roots just started the other day to come out and I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything about the roots sprouting from the stems. Seemed a bit odd to me. Maybe its propagating on its own?

The soil looks really wet. Is it possible that it is putting out new roots because the ones it the soil aren't in optimal conditions and can't get what the plant needs so these are popping up?

I had just watered the soil before taking this picture. It's possible there is root damage. Since I received the plant it has been in a plastic pot(I usually re pot everything into clay) since I didn't know what it was. So I haven't looked at the main roots. I found out that it was Kalanchoe the morning I posted this.

Just an update. There is root loss. I'm not sure if I should re pot what's left of the roots or if I should cut the stems that are growing roots to start all over?
