Hello, wondering if someone can help. I have this plant and it’s been absolutely fine on it’s own without any care. I just moved in the last 6 months so it may be a seasonal issue but the issue is, it used to bloom and now the ends are brown? I don’t know the name of the plant either sorry.
thank you for any help.

No worries @Newgreenthumb
Just trim them off as far down as is practical. They are a pretty forgiving plants and any stems left will just breakdown & disappear anyway.
In future it's best to get rid of those pods as soon as they start appearing.
If a plant goes to seed it will often see that it is 'mission accomplished', because setting seed is the whole reason it puts out flowers, so it can reduce its flower production that season and then the process of producing seed consumes a lot of energy so it can reduce flowering into the next season too.
@Adam_W Thank you very much for this. I will get onto it 😁
May I ask, I had the same plants along the wall and a gardener ‘trimmed’ them and said they should all start to regrow but they haven’t. He did say it can take time but I fear they are dead now.
is there anything that can be done to these? I m attaching a photo.
Thank you again.
It's great to see you've received some excellent assistance from our gardening experts @Newgreenthumb.
Please let me know if you need any help to upload that additional image, as it will be beneficial whilst providing further advice.
