What should I do with the bottom leaves (or whatever they're called). Should I trim them off or let them fall naturally? Or something else entirely? Let me know if you see anything else I should address.

Thanks.

Bought this guy about six weeks ago at home depot. I am ready to pot him now and I noticed these little pups growing. Should I separate them or leave them. Also, if I should separate them, what is the best way. Maybe a tutorial video on YouTube. Thanks for looking. Cheers.
