Should I let the spathes bloom or chop?

#BlackVelvetAlocasia
I have a few spathes coming up every now and then on different elephant ears. I am wondering if there is any purpose in keeping them if they are indoor plants? They are for pollination and seeds when outdoors right? Thanks for any help.
3ft to light, indirect
4โ€ pot with drainage

Eh they're just pretty [to me]. If you have multiple you can research on aroid pollination and get some seeds
David, you can of course do as @Araceae suggested, however, if that's not your thing you can remove them whenever you want. They drain a lot of energy from the plant so I usually leave them for a couple days and then cut them off as close to the base as you can get.
Hope this helps and Good Luck ๐Ÿ€
