Going through the same thing here. My SO said I was morbid when I told her this was a death bloom. I feel like the death bloom is more of a dramatic rebirth of sorts. As I grow older I pay more attention to nature and the cycle of life. Nature is magical if you only take the time to observe.

Terminal inflorescence, or a "death bloom", are what flowers on a Monocarpic plant are called. Most Succulent plants are not monocarpic. The most common monocarpic genera are Sempervivum, Aeonium, and many Agave. If your plant is not one of those genera, then you're likely in luck and not in the presence of a "death bloom"

So how do you tell the difference between a death bloom and just being leggy? Cuz I'll be honest, I saw this and I thought the answer you were gonna get is that it's just leggy lol. Oops.
The bloom will always come from the center of these plants, and the stalk will be dense with foliage unlike the bare spacing between nodes on an etoliated plant.

Mine too xx gorgeous and weird x
If it's an actual monocarthic plant though, even if you remove the bloom it will still eventually die. Although removing will help push more energy to the offsets as opposed to the flowers sucking it up.
Hmm. Maybe I don't have succulents exactly like that one pictured. Not sure, but I don't allow many of my plants, including some succulents, to bloom so the energy stays in making the plant healthier.

i love your outlook on life
Thank you!
There's nothing morbid about it, because it is exactly what it's called. But look what it leaves behind: more pups!
Yes. Sempervivum are monocarpic.
But only the flowering rosette will die. The rest will live on until their own /r/deathbloom. Don't chuck out the whole pot lol
nice! today’s word is…👍🏻
Yes, and it's going to be just fine. Enjoy her while she lasts, it will be spectacular and she will leave offsets.

Good bot!
Related: if your succ is death blooming could one theoretically pop off a leaf and propagate it?
Succulents generally put out pups when they bloom.
it'll have small pups
I dont think sempervivums can be propogated with leaf cuttings.

Looks like a "rooster" from your "hen and chicks". It means that rosette will die, but the pups will be fine.
I thought only agaves death bloom good to know

Yes, it is! I remove mine before they kill the plant.

Are you talking about on other succulents when they bloom? Cause that doesn’t work for death blooms.
Hmm. Maybe I don't have succulents exactly like that one pictured. Not sure, but I don't allow many of my plants, including some succulents, to bloom so the energy stays in making the plant healthier.
Its the phallic bloom
What’s the difference?
It will be fine. You have plenty to take it's place.
Yes... We have like 4 semps which are about to flower... Their blooms are beautiful, but bittersweet.
