I have to throw away the parent plants, as their flowers are spent. Wondering if I can just pluck this baby off and put it in water for a while, or does it need special care. I have 2 plants with 3 pups
Let it grow more, it will take the nutrients from the original plant as it grows. Then just pick out off and plant it

I wait until it’s about a third or so as big as the parent. You can also leave it attached

you don’t *have* to throw away the parent, I’ve had plants that made their terminal buds years ago and they still just happily chill with foliage throwing pups. It depends on what you want i guess, you are the gardener. but I’ve heard people say things like “the main plan is dead” and stuff and thats not usually true. It just wont flower again.
