I do not think it has anything to do with the roots. Instead, it looks like a scale insect infestation. Try dipping a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and wiping the bumps off. If you have a hand lens, take a closer look to see if there are soft-bodied insects underneath the bumps. You can learn more about scale insects here: https://www.thedailygarden.us/... |
