Phrag Eric Young's Final Bloom - What Now?

[jrodpad]

I was able to battle back the mealie infestation on my Phrag Eric young and keep this last flower. Hooray!

The mealies did destroy the lead growth on the spike that kept spitting out new buds. So after this bloom dies off, what then? Do you cut the spikes on these guys? Do you leave them until they turn brown and whither away?

This is my first and only phrag - so I'm totally green.

Thanks.
