: What do I do with the bloom from my aloe now that it is gone? Do I leave the shoot or can I cut it without harming my plant. The stem still seems vibrant, but the color is gone from the flower. If I cut it, should I trim at the plant or higher on the stalk? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lisa,
I waited until the blooms were faded and the stem started to deteriorate. Then I cut it off as close to the base of the plant as I could.
