What do I do?

So Foxxy has these flowers, and she’s had these ones since I got her, but they are dry. Should I remove them, cut the vine? What do I do? If I do cut it I see some healthy green leaves, and I have two extra two inch pots, could I use those to propagate? And if so, how would I do that? #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #help #NewPlantMom #PropagationStation #GregGang #whatdoido #Succulent #amidoingthisright

@LikelyChaya33 you can totally do that! I would just snip the flower stalk, gently twist each leaf off, and the easiest method would be to simply lay them back down on the soil. They can take a while, so I would just go about my plant care for this one as normal and be pleasantly surprised when and if they do root and make pups πŸ₯°
@DreamMachine How far would I cut it? And if I left it there (the dry flowers) is that taking energy from my succulent still if dry flowers mean that the flower is dead? If that makes sense
@LikelyChaya33 it’s not taking any energy if they’re dry, that means the plant has already reabsorbed any energy that went into it. 😊

To be on the safe side you could just twist those individual leaves off the stem to prop now, and then wait until the whole flower stalk is dry and brown before you snip it off at the base.
@DreamMachine Ok thank you
