When I accidentally broke off a leaf and noticed the gel-like inner structure- as an experiment I applied it on my skin: a bit above my wrist to test it first. And after nothing burned or itched, I put the rest on dark areas of skin, remained from mosquito bites (can't leave them bites alone and have tendency to scratch on them :X ..)<br />We'll see how it goes,Coraliehttp://www.instagram.com/joxcienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-29356732612125187002017-08-09T14:52:53.235-07:002017-08-09T14:52:53.235-07:00Rachel:

Cut it off whenever, don't cut it off, it's all pretty much the same thing to the plant. <br /><br />The only time I could think of when it would matter is if you're trying to get <i>seeds</i> from the plant, in which case you have to leave the flower stalk on and pollinate it with something. mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-56512561457683480472017-08-09T13:44:33.766-07:002017-08-09T13:44:33.766-07:00I can't seem to find a true answer anywhere bu...I can't seem to find a true answer anywhere but should you cut off the flower stalk after it's done flowering?

Gold like comes out of shake 'n' spray gold paint can. On close examination it proved to be a well grown window leaf Haworthia. It would have been a much nicer specimen than mine, but I don't know how you'd ever remove the paint. All but a bit of center had been sprayed.
