You can cut it down. It will grown a new one when it's ready.

Thanks so much

Cut it right down to the leaves as far as possible. It will grow a new one in a different place

Cut it off at the base. Keep it in a bright window and continue caring for it. Once it's energy reserves are up, it'll reward you with another flower spike.

Thank you Karzdan. Would it be a good time to re pot it ?

#### Karzdan replied on 2026-09-10

Only if the roots are spilling out of the pot and soil. The soil is just for structure, not nutrients.

Try converting it to a water plant instead
