Question here, once the flowers are done blooming (as you can see in the middle) should I cut them off or leave them?

they will die and fall off anyways when they're done. i recommend cutting them off, they suck a lot of energy from the plant, but it's too late now, most of the energy has already been used. ideally you cut them off before they ever open

Second this! Cut! But they do mean she’s happy!
