Is this a flower spike on my maranta? Iāve had this baby for 2 years and we StRuGgLeD for a loooong time. š®āšØ I think Iāve finally got it happy but suddenly it has this weird spike that looks unlike its normal growth pattern. š¤ If it is a flower, should I cut it to conserve energy for the leaves? I just donāt want him to go downhill after itās taken me so long to get stuff right. He still doesnāt have a hugely robust root system
yay!! itās flowering!! that happens in spring when the plant is happy and healthy (: there is no need to cut its flower off!! i only ever remove flowers after they die. enjoy the plant showing off its happiness!

I trim my flowers regularly solely for aesthetic reasons, so no worries if you decide to trim them. Knowing that youāve had this little guy for over a year and observing his pot, Iād consider repotting him this spring season. Iāve had mine for two years and itās now in a 10ā pot.
I missed pictures of the top 2 flowers. Theyāre so teeny and precious! I love them! š Thanks for your time and comments plant friends!
