# Extremely new to plants and I have a question. I have a red nerve…

_Publié par Chuck B le 2025-08-09_

Extremely new to plants and I have a question. I have a red nerve plant that’s blooming small white flowers. When that finishes what do you do with the little stalk that had the blooms? Should I remove it or leave it alone?

It would be your personal preference. It will probably dry up and fall off on its own eventually, but I’d personally probably cut it off to avoid any mess

I agree with Tanya! It’s certainly personal preference but I probably would cut it before they start to flower properly

That’s what mine looked like when I got it. It’s doing great right now just following the directions.

#### SWDK ha respondido el 2025-08-25

Any tips for me?? How long have you had yours if you don’t mind me asking?..

#### Chuck B ha respondido el 2025-08-26

I’ve had it maybe a couple months. I don’t have any lights so it sits on the coffee table that has a big window that faces west.

No light but it sits west WOW 🤯 dats pretty amazing seriously learning something new here.

Oh wow, I didn't know they flowered to be honest and the leaves on yours seem huge compared to my tiny compact leaves. I hope mine flowers one day. I'm a bit late to this post, but I'd probably remove the flower stem once it's finished, so the energy goes back into the plant.
