I didn't know the flower stem can be used too. I wouldn't detach it on purpose though.
I have some plants I grew from a leaf I found in a shop floor. The newest is a Gollum and another one like ovata but with more yellow and thinner leaves. Not a new plants yet, but I see roots already :)
Stunning Pachyphytum!
Thanks, yes the Pachy is a beauty. good luck with your ovata!
I never took the flower stalks off intentionally it has happened that they got chewed off by bugs so I rooted them out of curiosity to see whether the stalk itself would grow into a plant
