    Leave it alone, or cut it off. Up to you! The stem is called an inflorescence, and it’s your plant’s way of telling you it’s happy.

      I always leave mine and see how crazy they get; they’ll often have flowers too. Some people cut them for aesthetics, or because the flower can attract aphids. Mostly preference though!
