Default Yucca? What to do with flower stem.

I have what I think is called a Yucca that is in flower. See:

I'm never sure what to do with the flower stem once all the flowers have
gone. Are you supposed to cut it off, or leave it to die away naturally?


we let ours age a few months until the stem is blackish then cut then off
as close to their base as pos............been doing this 15 years with no
ill effect.


Thanks. That is pretty much what I have been doing up to now, but I was not
sure if I was helping or hindering it.

Do you get loads of 'babies' growing around the base? If so...what do you do
with them?
