I have a zantedescia (sorry if spelt wrong) which is flowering for the first time (third year). Got loads of flowers. This is probably a stupid question but if I cut the flowers will I get more?

Good question Justy ,I've just chopped off the whole flowering stalk but it was hugely thick like ruhbarb and didn't seem like something I should have "chopped through",did I do bad? :-[

You can use arums for cut flowers, so it's not bad to cut them :D However, I have my doubts whether cutting will encourage new flower heads to grow (I think flower production is actually linked to size and age of plant, etc...) , but maybe someone else with more experience can answer more definitively.

I've had Arums for about 6 years. I dead head when they've finished, but as yet, I've never had a second flush!!! Well, not with arums........! :o Lottie

:) I have arums they are lovely but I have never had more flowers because of dead heading :( The older the clump the more flowers is my experience :) I cut the dead heads of just below the top of the leaves first then tidy the stalk up later as sometimes new growth comes on the side of old stems :) feed well while flowering I use tom feed :)

Agree with Marley Farley - I never got extra flowers either! But they do love a lot of water so watering well might help.
