#### Halo replied on 2025-01-17

Oh no

#### Courtney replied on 2025-01-17

Why “oh no”?

#### Halo replied on 2025-01-17

It’s my first plant to flower which is scary lol

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-17

Not scary, it's a big compliment usually. Means it's happy and well cared for

### Ezzeldin Yaqoub commented on 2025-01-17

It’s fine as long as your plant is healthy, it won’t kill it.

#### Halo replied on 2025-01-17

Thank you

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-01-17

It's an inflorescence. If you don't plan to utilize it you can remove it close to the base. So the plant stops putting so much energy into it

#### Halo replied on 2025-01-17

How do I utilize it?

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-18

Meaning if you wanted to collect pollen from it and/or fertilize it for seeds.

It’s a flower but you won’t be impressed. There may be more to follow. Mine put out five at one time. I cut them off. But it’s your first one so let it go so you can see what it looks like.
