<<I usually do cut off extra stalk and old buds and just leave the pod intacked, but I have not cut away the bloom or sheath before. >> Linda, as soon as the pod is strong enough to support itself, strip away
all extra plant material from the stalk. . . old blooms, old spath fans, and any
old fans that might be clinging to the base of the stalk. I carry a pair
of small scissors in my pocket and cut off the old bloom from the end of the
pod. I'm careful about the spath that supports the pod as it is really
easy to knock a pod loose. Sometimes the spath tissue will be stuck to the
pod and the tweezers are good for peeling it loose.
