Cutting flower spike to spur root growth? Male

This notion is silly. Many plants have persistent flower stems that last a long time and continue to photosynthesize. They're beneficial to the plant.

The Eulophia macra I discussed in this thread dropped its last flowers in May. The stalk still looks as healthy as it did in February. I'm not going to remove it until it dies.
