I just got this new variety of plants, but the flowers out of one of the succulents are drooping and the buds are closed. Should I cut them off the plant? Please leave tips!

they look great! it’s kind of up to you, but i know lots of people cut off the flowers on their succulents since it takes so much of their energy to produce them

Yes! I’d also like to add that for some plants it’s normal for the flower stalk to droop a bit bc of how heavy and tall they are.
