# Is this a flower? I've never had a plant which has produced a flower…

_Posted by Nix Nox on 2026-09-13_

Is this a flower? I've never had a plant which has produced a flower before, and I've read for this kind of plant it's better to cut it off as soon as you notice one - I'm not sure though, and if this is just a big leaf I'd like to let it continue growing.

If it IS a flower, is it better to cut it off? Is it too soon to do so? She's in a new place in a new house, so I worry about any big changes or un-needed cuts

Any advice appreciated, thank you!

Looks floral to me mine grew a flower from something like that. You can enjoy the flower if you want, though it's not spectacular and she'll lose leaves (which in my opinion are!!)

How soon and where do I cut the flower at? Will leaves still continue to grow from where the flower was cut??

I believe as soon as it appears could be okay, may want to double check. Also, mine grew new leaves from the bottom :) not really where the flower popped up

Since your plant looks healthy I recommend letting it grow and bloom so you can see with it looks like! It’s not going to hurt the plant. The reason people cut them off is because the plant is spending all its energy to grow the bloom instead of directing that energy to grow the plant. Once you experience the flower you can decide for future flowers if it’s worth cutting it off or not. The flowers are nothing spectacular really. They look like little corn on the cobs, but maybe you’ll love it.
