I think my Chinese Evergreen is sprouting a flower! I read some people remove it to concentrate energy on leaf production. Opinions ?? There are two possibly three starting to show.

It’s completely fine to get rid or keep the flowers. It will take away a bit of energy from the leaves but it won’t hit the plant just slow growth of the leaves a bit. The flowers also allow you to get seeds if you want more.

You can get seeds but the flowers need to be pollinated, then you need to wait for the berries to form, then you need to remove the pulp from the berries, plant the berries and wait months to see any growth. It’s an involved process. But can be a fun rewarding experience. Personally I don’t have the time for it.
