As per the title really. I've only ever had Anubias flower so I'm quite excited to see it once the bud has opened! Two different plants have sent flowers up.

I had some Echinodorus plants produce long stems with heads full of pollen back in January 2020.
This is what I wrote at the time.

I will attempt to do a water change tomorrow and remove these stems and clean the pollen off the glass.
I may also give filter 2 a clean as it's been about 11 weeks since I last cleaned it and I'm guessing there's a lot of pollen trapped inside.
I had pollen everywhere, all over the glass, decor and inside the external filters.
I removed the reproductive stems.
I went on and wrote.

I cleaned the media (old tank water) and all is now good.
I am considering cleaning the other filter (filter 1) again next week just to get rid of all the pollen.
All the best

I'm going to see how it progresses I think, I have to break the tanks down soon anyway for the house move.
