Some of the...Sorry, I forgot to come back to you!! Some of these flower for me every year. the flower rises on a long stem and they are odd but appealing. When the show is over and the flower dies, the rosette it came from will wither and die..... you can carefully pull it out and chuck it, as new plantlets form themselves, no need to gather seed. The rosette you remove will not form a new plant, but you should be lucky to spot the new "babies" next year. I have some small containers 3-4 years on and I do nothing except remove the dead ones and the pots still remain looking full. Good luck.Mrs Mac.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13169786083907144694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-36730193880616480082015-05-06T09:42:46.258-04:002015-05-06T09:42:46.258-04:00Thanks Jenny.

Ok silly question but what do you ...Thanks Susan! <br /><br />Ok silly question but what do you mean when the "flower is over"? Do I wait until the baby flower dies before plucking it out or do that right away? Can i replant the flower to form a new plant?Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-77961410561416521572015-05-05T02:57:21.828-04:002015-05-05T02:57:21.828-04:00Yes you can! do you have drainage holes in bottom...Yes you can! do you have drainage holes in bottom of the cans? - they don't like soggy bottoms..... and you really don't need to water them. Mine are in the garden in containers still going strong after about 3 years, and I never watered them again once they were established. If any of them flower, remove the whole "rosette" once the flower is over, as it will die then, but the rest of the group in the can will be fine. We are in the South West of the UK, so whilst not such extremes of temperature as Brooklyn, if you even it out it's similar.
