Jonathan,

Are you in the Southern or Northern hemisphere? How warm are you
keeping the plant? How big is huge?

I've grown this species for several years (from seed), but I haven't
had one flower yet, so I'm afraid I can't give you much advice about
whether to cut off the flower spike.

I live in the SF Bay area, and mine have just gone dormant.

Regards,
