# Recently my lemon lime shot out a real skinny shoot that I was told…

_Posted by Bret on 2025-07-01_

Recently my lemon lime shot out a real skinny shoot that I was told was going to be flowers. It HAS since flowered cute little tiny flowers and my question is....is that it? Or will that "stalk" produce more flowers or leaves or should I eventually cut it off?

Mine flowered as well, and it was only tiny flowers.

Mine were also VERY tiny. Lasted about....three days. Purple I think, I'm colorblind. So they were either blue or purple.

That’s really lovely, mine have done the same and some others too, I always let it produce everything and then when I see that the spike thing is finished flowering I just cut it off for the plant to focus on another thing. But it’s so lovely to see them doing it, the perfect signal that they are happy 😊

once the flowers die that spike is done. you should cut it off so the plant starts using energy to push out new leaves again.
