My African Lily has finished flowering : Grows on You

West Midlands, United Kingdom

My African Lily has finished flowering (or has it, it still has 2 pods on it). Do I just leave it. Will it flower again? It's in a pot. If it has finished flowering do I cut the long stems down? Thankyou.

the flower forms a set of pods where the spent flowers were. If you dont want to save the seed then cut the flowering stem out. if you want the seed then leave alone. The seeds are black when ripe and the pods dry beige before the seeds are ready.

Thanks for your reply Seaburngirl. Do I cut the long stems down or just leave them?
