How long have you owned this plant?
Have you done any previous research on your plant?
Serious questions.
That’s one healthy Calathea, congrats!.. rhizomes!.
Those tubers show that yes indeed, she is in quite good shape. When calatheas are happy they make tubers to store extra energy.
She will stop being in good shape if you cut them off. With calathea you want to disturb the roots as little as possible. Leave them on, and don’t bust up the soil. Just slip her into a larger pot and gently put new soil into the gaps. She might still curl and wilt and pitch a fit for a while after this.
Those are rhizomes. They store water and nutrients, so you should keep them.
Super healthy plant. Those are rhizomes, they act as energy storage and can push out new growth in time. That particular plant has plenty of space in the current pot, but in the future those rhizomes can be used to propagate new plants.
In the future, when you repot it, you can decide to gently cut one of those rhizomes with at least one healthy leaf and part of the root system and get a new plant.
It means your plant is very happy!!!
Aliens. You need to pack that plant up and send it here for safety.
