Well, they're not new roots the ones I see; just 3 of the old but healthy ones that survived my friend's care and they seem to at least not be getting worse. There is a tiny little thing that "bursts" from the main part of the plant, which I think i first saw before I left for holidays and it is still there - doesn't seem to have grown but neither has it withered. My sense was that it would be a new spike but not sure. I'll try take a picture of it and post it here, as I'm sure some of you will know what it is and what it needs.
