Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

Oh the Roots for my Boston Curly Fern

18 years ago

I have had my boston curly fern for about four months now, and I have noticed that the roots, or what look like roots are shooting up through the dirt. are these even roots? They are green and sort of look like really thin string beans. I'm not too versed in ferns so I don't even know if this is natural or what. any explantion would be fantastic!

Thanks!

They could be weed seedlings.
