Flower spikes!

If you like, just leave until they dry up. But you can also cut them off with no harm to the plant.

It was a first time experience for me too. I let them be for a few weeks and then cut them off as it didn’t really add much to the plant which I love btw. Give more energy and nutrients to leaves
