Should I Let It Flower?

[Glenn UK]

Hi all

I have a plant not sure of its name that frequently tries to flower but typically i chop it off as soon as i spot it. Can i let it flower? I know if its a bulb not to let it flower because then it will shut down but this isnt a bulb so im not sure if its ok to flower or not. I have enclosed a picture:

it is anubias and it is fine to et it flower, so people notice it gets to that stage and then jut dies away for some reason.

What do you mean by you shouldnt let bulbs flower?

Thanks, Aaron

What do you mean by you shouldnt let bulbs flower?

When i bought a bulb from my lfs the guy told me if i saw a flower coming to chop it off as soon as possible, he told me that if i allowed it to flower it would die back sometimes die completely so if i wanted to keep the plant going as just greenery remove all flowers otherwise he said "you'll be wasting your money".

that is a lie, i cant see a reason why it would die back, next time you go in ask him why

Aponegtons are one of the most common and easiest plants to get flowering, i have never heard anyone complaining about it dieing back after.
