a little help please

Need a little help here they look better not drooping anymore but there’s a few weird things going on watering every 4 days on the stalk there were these little white things sticking out I took them off but they looked weird I’ve never seen them before there not on the other plant

I know the heats a little high I had the fan turned off for a little while

The long skinny thing in the 3rd pic is it alive? I never seen them.

The white thing on top of the soil is from when I tied it down tried to take it out but somehow got attached to the roots the stalk of the plant I took that picture cuz there were these little skinny white things that were popping out of it I’ve never seen them but I pulled them out I assume it just part of the roots I just never seen them go up the stalk I’ve only seen them way at the bottom after I chop em

Not much to worry about.
