I think the only thing would be to pinch off the blossoms or give it less light.. not sure if you would be trading in it’s variegation though !

What other vars do you have??

You could always try cutting off the flower before it opens!

I always miss it before it blooms cause sometimes I forget until I see purple 😭😭

Hiii

It may be stress blooming. Hypoestes generally will grow flat in bright light and if it doesn’t get sufficient light, it grows very tall. It’s not what the plant wants to do so it gets really stressed out and will shoot off flowers in hopes of putting its energy into the next plant in case it doesn’t survive.

If you cut off the flower, give it brighter light and see if it helps.
