# Hi! My evergreen is flowering, which is great because that means I'm…

Hi! My evergreen is flowering, which is great because that means I'm doing my job. I don't particularly love these flowers and there is also new growth at the base. I'm debating cutting off the flower buds to allow the energy to go to the new plant at the base. What would you do?? Any advice is welcome 🫶🏻

I would cut them off, unless you’re planning on pollinating the flowers and create seeds ☺️
