From my understanding, you can keep them from flowering by cutting the flower stalk off from the plant. You can also use some rooting hormone on the cut end to the stalk and create a clone of the plant. I am actually trying to clone one of the ones that I have from Lowes Hardware, via leaf pullings. I found a youtube video on how to do it.
