Commenting for visibility because I’m currently wondering the same thing for the same plant!

Yup! Any time you propagate really anything in soil, leave the mother leaf and it will naturally die on its own. Your plant needs it to survive!

I made the mistake of cutting the leaf off when first growing succulents from leaves and the plant died, I learnt my lesson...
