My Haworthia has been flowering for a while, with 2 flowering offshoots. Today I saw a “lump” and upon closer inspection I realized both of them have a baby! What do I do now? Cut them and plant the baby? Just lay on soil for it to root?
Thanks for any advice. I’m really excited!!

I would wait until it gets bigger. The bigger the plant the easier it is to take care of. Let the flower stalk dry until it is no longer providing water to it. Cut it and plant it.
Leave them until they’re a little bigger, then plant. You can cut the stem above them though so it’s not sucking energy.
You could probably root it while it’s still on the stem. I’d wait until it’s a little bigger to try though.
I had one definitely wait till it gets bigger then plonk it in some moist soil
Wait as long as you can. If the rest of the peduncle beyond the bulbil begins to dry up but the part leading up to the bulbil remains healthy, just let it keep going. Wait it out as long as you can for your best chance of survival.
wtf that’s the first time I’ve seen that happen
Ive had one I left in for 2 years because I thought it will grow some roots.😅 But no, so I cut it then with an inch of the flower stem and plant. It did root and I have extra plant.🤗
