If I have little plants like this with roots, do I need to keep the whole leaf attached, or can I trim some off?

Keep it attached until the leaf is “drained” of energy. It will look discoloured and shriveled

1 me gustaLeave it. It should eventually shrivel enough to fall off.
1 me gustaThe new plant will get a lot of its nutrition from the old leaf if you take it off before the new plant won't live. Good luck
2 Me gustaThey will usually still get a lot from the mama leaf, so I keep it on till it's sucked up
1 me gustaI've done this for several years now and I usually just place a small amount of soil in the tray and toss some leaves around and let them do ther thing. I will mist them about once a month in the winter and come spring I will set them in 2" pots till I decide what to do with them. They are so much fun.
