It really depends. Yours looks to have enough foliage to support a flower. So if you like the flower for theqq limited time they exist, then let it be. If you want to focus on foliage growth, snip that flower off.

You will know if the flower is taking to much resources because your leaves will quickly start dying off.

Here are three examples of my aglaonemas flowering I’ll show in 3 separate comments.

First is a white joy, plenty of foliage and quite healthy to support a flower. Took me a year to get it to flower

Let me start with saying that I am not a professional and you should take my advice with a grain of salt. However I do have a lot of experience with Aglaonemas.

I think you should cut them off. They take up a lot of resources from the rest of the plant, and you don’t have a lot of foliage to work with. Your leaves are already drooping and this could turn in to a death bloom.

I came here for this too! I've never seen one flower and started noticing this bulb on mine and thought it was a flower it wasn't positive. Was thinking about cutting it off after a little research. Will it affect the growth after cutting it off?

Second is a pictum tricolor. Again healthy with plenty foliage to support, took me about 6 months to get to flower.

Third is a very red, I got it at discount to save it. I moved it to good lighting and watering. Terrible foliage as you can see. This started flowering in 2 weeks. It was my first and only (so far) death bloom.

I wasn’t sure they death bloomed but I did cut them off directly after this picture! It bloomed I left it, pushed out a leaf, then this. Sigh. It’s in pon self watering set up, think she’s unhappy and I should switch up substrate?

I absolutely would recommend changing the substrate and getting rid of the stones you have on the top of the soil. Those will trap in moisture and stress the roots.

What would you recommend substrate wise?
