Question
I have a zebra plant, it has a beautiful yellow flowerish looking thing on the top.  That is now starting to turn a little brownish and I suppose like any other flower on house plants they do not live forever.  Am I supposed to cut it of or just leave it to drop off?

Answer
Hi Karen,

Whether you remove the spent flower or leave it on will not affect the health or future flowering of your Zebra plant. It is simply an aesthetic matter. So if you think it will improve the plant's appearance, then remove.


Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
