Does anyone know what these tiny sprouts are on my Christmas cactus? They look like little clovers. Are they weeds / should I pull them out?

Pull them. Is there a plant near them that seeds could have fallen from? I have an orchid underneath a bridal veil, and I am constantly pulling little sprouts out of it.

I just bought it from some folks who’d had it outside under a tree with a ton of other plants so it’s very likely some seeds from something blew in. Thanks so much!

Shamrocks seeds float into every plant on the same windowsill. It’s probably from nearby plants or came with the soil.
