I've wondered the same thing, but other more experienced members have shown photos of their blooming cuttings. Kenboy uses that trait when choosing Brugs to grow in hanging baskets. I've had a few cuttings bloom without any apparent harm. I do fertilize them so maybe that makes a difference. Realistically, it does slow growth down as it would for any other plant. It's just that I don't think any Brug fanatic can make herself/himself cut a bloom off. :-)

Here's a photo of a Bernstein cutting with its first bloom.
