I just got one of these tiny little P. esseriana as a gift, my question is, should I let the plant shoot out flower stems or should I cut them of.. I'm not trying to get seeds out of them. Will the flowers slow the growth of my plant? It's a tiny little plant. Since it's my first ping what should I do as far as how much natural light I should give it. Should I have water in its tray all the time or can I just keep the soil damp
