Today was the first day I put her into a sunny spot in my living room. She only got about three hours of sun, because I didn’t want to overwhelm her. And now there’s a scab on her leaf. Also, I’ve heard a lot about cutting off the flowers , is that something you think I should do. This is also my first time having a plant like Update 12/24 : she died a couple days after this😭 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EfAT74qbjGmEB57pfB-e3TVn5CkrAqZzTYI2Iqhhf9w/cf6afb6241c345efad2d9d083e774375.webp?size=large) ## 2 comments ### Felicia commented on 2023-11-28 She has about 5-6 blooms happening rn too😬 ### Holly commented on 2023-11-28 I left my flowers on until they started looking old and then snipped them. A new growth popped up a few weeks later. I’ve only had mine for a few months so I’m no expert! Just sharing my experience! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
