What's the best thing to do for flower choke.

Sarah Brubacker · 11-04-2018, 07:18 PM

I have a super dwarf flower that has the fruit in the stem, I did kinda pull back the leaves to make space but don't want to ruin to many leaves.
I am wandering how other people do it? Whats the best thing to do? What happens if you don't do anything?
I'll take pictures tomorrow morning.
Thanks!

Embrace it and leave it alone.

I cut a big slit down the bottom to let the tiny pstem and older hands fall out sooner. It’s very easy. Email me and I can show you pictures of how it looks.

Thanks Ty for your information you sent by email!
This is how it looked yesterday after I discovered it, can't wait to go release it, this bunch looks like it'll have more fingers than the first one, I have a plant in a bigger pot that's bigger, wandering how big a bunch it'll give!
I'll post a picture again after I released it.

Thanks again.

This is kinda how it looked before I saw what was going on, this it's a little old so it was out a tad more
