Yup, this happens in some species, especially in seedlings. It is a good
sign and tells you the plant is happy. Don't forget though that at some
moment you'll have to refresh the soil and the moment a new shoot appears is
a good moment because older roots are now dying down and new ones are still
vigorous enough to survive a repotting (which should NOT be too rigorous, so
don't start flushing the roots clean with water or like methods).
For potting mix I'd go for a humus-rich one if you have no clue of its
origin.
