My Calico kitten is blooming flowers. I am new to plants. I have heard that blooms take energy from rest of plant. Should I cut them off or leave them?

Thank you

I’m unsure of your question…just wanted to drop by to say that is a cute plant! Is it a succulent?

Yes it is.

You don’t have to cut the blooms off, it’s only really recommended you do that if your plant is small or if it’s sick
