I'd be interested in hearing others experience with leaving the stems. I usually cut the burned leaves off and cut the stem down to where i can see some fresh green. Usually 3-5 feet from the ground. Most of the stems will then put off a new leaf from there for the next season. If after a week or so things seem like they're getting mushy i then take the stem off at the base to keep all that mush from rotting the corm. What do the rest of ya'll think?
