My fairly new plant is doing well and has plenty of flowers but some of them have turned pale green should I cut them off?

I don't have a rabbit but am actually pondering over getting one so thank's for the advice. But then the plant is on my bathroom window sill and Flopsy really shouldn't be going there.

Cut the stem as close to the leaf as possible. By cutting off the flower, your plant will not only look healthy, it will encourage new growth. Make sure the plant doesn't get direct sunlight with it being on the window sill. Below is a picture of a peace lily plant.

you could cut back them while the flower turns eco-friendly. The white powder will "sprinkle" off, yet i don't think of that is going to harm something. that is in hassle-free terms a splash of a nuisance. The greater you chop back the plant life, the greater they bloom. if reality be told, you have greater blooms than I do and that's surprising. Mine gets too plenty image voltaic.

I don't know but if you have a rabbit keep it well away because peace lillies are poisonous to rabbits

yes, you can cut them back. I have one that I have had for 12 years and it blooms and then dies back...you can cut them off dead or half dead, it don't matter. I just use a scissor.
