Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Cutting flowering before making leaves., 1 by drdawg43

In my experience it really does not matter whether the flower stalk(s) are left or cut. I have some plants that have been dormant for 5 months, no light, no, water, no soil, that have ONLY a stalk. When I pot these up in the spring the leaves form normally and I am greeted with flowers as well.

This is one of those plants, a 'Celadine'. It has leafed out normally. The plant was potted up in April and the photo was taken in May.
