Myrna,
Once you've pulled off all the babies go ahead and cut the stalks off. Once they are finished flowering, flower stalks turn brown and die. They will not flower again.
It isn't necessary to include any stalk with the babies. Sometimes new plants fail to root for many reasons. If the bottoms are black and mushy, they are rotted so best to discard them. You might have better success if you leave the babies on the parent plant until they have already formed healthy looking roots.

life is like a box chocolates you never know what you are going to get (unless you pop the bottoms in first!)
