Onc. Sharry Baby quick question....

My plant is all done blooming on the 1 spike, flowers are all off.

Do I let the spike die naturally (turn brown & brittle) or do I cut this off? I've read that the spikes will not produce anymore flowers on them.

The other spike is doing very well.

The spike won't produce anymore flowers so it's up to you weather or not to cut the spike. You don't have to but there is nothing wrong with you removing it either.

Mine is still blooming and should also be dropping it's flowers relatively soon also.
