Epi - When the flower fade

Palm Coast, FL(Zone 9a)

Can someone tell me what to do when the flower fade on the Epi. Do you cut off or leave on to fall by itself? I've got one that's faded, another on the way. I don't want to do the wrong thing as this is my first and I would like to see it bloom again. Dorothy

Dorothy, you can leave it and let it fall off naturally or cut it off at its base. The base will yellow and fall off on its own. Every time that I try to snap it off with my fingers, I end up tearing part of the leaf so I don't do that anymore, and I just snip the spent bloom off.
