Why does Blade cut his plant in the first movie?

Why does Blade cut his plant in the first movie? I'm curious about the reasoning behind this scene. Could it be symbolic, or is there a practical reason for it? Thank you in advance for your insights.

The plant that had red flowers and was elegantly displayed in a Japanese-style setup served as a 'symbol' later in the movie regarding "cutting off your roots."

Sources suggest that the plant being cut in Blade's first movie represents home and family. Cutting off the roots signifies that there is nothing you care about that your enemy can use against you in a fight.

Others say that it’s an act of "killing" the roots and trying to forget where he came from.

Blade was Marvel’s first box office success, launching their ascent to the top of the superhero movie kingdom and spawning two sequels, Blade II and Blade: Trinity. Check out Uproxx.com's six Blade facts worth sinking your teeth into.... Show More
