Well, you could leave the stem to die too if you want. The theory is that the energy will return to the plant, but this hasn't been proven. When my Raja Puri was finished flowering I just cut the stem off halfway and slowly cut it bit by bit as it dried out. Either way works. After the stem is cut, leave everything as is and the pups will mature and flower again perpetually.
