Hey all! Quick question… what do I do when the flowers start dying off? Do I just leave it alone?

Thanks!

i had one of these^ at the end of its life i just snipped it and it should be fine

Do you snip the whole stem or like the leaves and everything down to soil level?

#### John G Amero replied on 2024-03-04

Whoa do not snip down to soil.

I usually snip off the worst flowers. I should probably also snip the stalk one the flowers are gone. To the right of that tan stick is a stalk I should cut back.

Never snip the fronds. You can place outdoors if you have access to the plants, outta the sun. I normally place mine along a fence that faces North.
