I also saw the other pics. If you zoom in closely, you can see fat aphids. Those white flakes are their exoskeletons they shed when maturing.
Get some neem oil and silicate, that will get rid of them and make the plant more resistant for upcoming generations of the pest.

Jep. I had this one for exactly one year now in semi-hydro.
The old roots rotted off, and new ones from fresh bulbs formed and adapted to the new conditions :)

- Comment on My first attempt at fletching an arrow 2 months ago:
You can collect tree resin and turn that into pitch/ tar.
It makes such a great glue, that it was used for millennia by stone age men and many generations after that, until recent.
You can use it to reinforce the tip of the feather shaft or attach the tip.
For the tip, I recommend using metal of some sort. Sure, it could also work with (flint) stone, but there’s a reason copper, later bronze, later iron, dominated for that use case. It can be mined and processed relatively “easy”, even without a smeltering furnace, especially copper and bronze.
But that is all another level :)
