Hi all! How do I trim my VFT? Just under where the crispy trap, or the whole stem?

If it’s black it’s safe to trim as close to the point u can

So I can trim the whole stem back?

If you want I personally just trim the black the green still has nutrients in it up to you tho or you can wait for the whole leaf to die then cut
