I believe those are flowers!

Really? They just look like hair and then fall off

#### NikoScy replied on 2024-07-05

Definitely flowers! You may be missing when they bloom. It’s probably only for a couple of hours a day once or twice before falling off.

#### NikoScy replied on 2024-07-05

But yeah, to answer the question, totally normal. In fact, typically a sign of good health

### Plant lover!!! commented on 2024-07-05

Yes there is nothing to worry about
