My Chirita 'Diane Marie' has a couple of dead flower stems and I am wondering if it's okay to cut them off, or should they be left on the plant to wilt away and fall off by themselves? They don't look too nice just hanging there, so I would like to cut them unless the plant needs them for some reason. Can they just be pinched off like I do with wilted or dead AV stems?

Thanks!
