Let it die and wither on its own - or at least don’t pull the stem out. Also, congratulations!

What else do you have in that pot? I’m seeing some coolness.

I went on a little hunt to find the pots which have the names of them but the pinkish one is “royal flush” or “pleiospilos nelli” being the same species as the one to the very left and the two rounder ones on the left are “argyroderma” all of which are ‘split rocks’

Nice. I have a couple neli but am waiting to get some (just read the species name, feels awkward to say) testiculare.
