Hi yall! Anyone know what these sprouts are and what to do?
I water my fiddle leaf weekly on Mondays. I went to check on Friday; I sometimes spot feed during week if needed as the sunlight varies in my apt.
These sprouts grew very fast and I didn’t notice anything while watering monday.
Should I repot? Is there hope? Any insight appreciated!!

Woah! Have you repotted / added compost or any new soil lately? My first thought was that if you added compost, maybe it’s a bunch of little volunteer sprouts from that. Otherwise idk but I’m def intrigued!
I don’t know why but for some reason this instantly made me think of the claw machine aliens in Toy Story 1
It looks an awful lot like cress or something similar. Have you poured something out into the pot recently?
Free microgreens
you could sell those microgreens for $15 per half pound at the farmers market
They look like a vegetable of some kind and I think they’ll die soon.
I’d take scissors and just trim them down.
They’re getting very leggy as they search for light. If they are a vegetable they won’t survive long.
I don’t think you need to replant unless they come back.
Repotting would need all new dirt if these weren’t vegetables, and whatever seed they were is in your soil.
Those look like alfalfa sprouts. I’ve seen them added to soil/compost mixes before (but not THAT much— someone clearly accidentally added a whole bag of seeds here lol)
You should be fine to just cut them with scissors or pluck them out. Throw them away or mix some back in the dirt for nutrients when they compost.
That is strange. Just pull them out you don’t need to repot.
