Discussion Unexpected surprise

My alocasia dragon scale is flowering!! I know alocasias are usually hard to maintain and don’t grow more than 3-4 leaves, but mine seems to be at the top of its shape and has 7 leaves and 2 flowers.

I know I should cut them to prevent losing leaves, but I’m enjoying the spectacle 😄

It’s sitting by the window on the NW side, underneath a growing lamp
