I noticed a plump green tentacle growing out of the soil of my orchid plant. It is turgid and vermiform, curling over the edge of the pot and tapered at the tip. Very strange! Is this the beginning of a new orchid plant, or a different species altogether?

Turgid AND vermiform? that guy rules.
(My orchid is doing this too. Turns out they’re roots.)
