My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Anthurium deadhead question

19 years ago

I've never had one of these beautiful plants before. The instructions say to "deadhead spent flowers". Does that mean I cut offf the spent flower spike or do I take off the red bract as well?
