3. Effect of flowering on plant

Its flowers are not highly ornamental and will have an unpleasant smell. Moreover, some friends will find that after flowering, the leaves of the plant become smaller or even stop growing, which will affect the leaf viewing effect of the original plant. This is because the flowers consume part of the nutrients and the nutrients supplied to the leaves are less
