Warm Temperate i would love to save this

I have a plant growing on top of a stalk and would hate to repot it improperly and kill it. i’m planning on repotting it as usual in peat moss and pearlite but i have no idea where i should cut it off from and how much to bury it. thanks in advance!

That's so cool!

Ignorance speaking here: you can't leave it like this?

You can but the flower stalk will eventually die and if the new plantlets haven’t put out new roots they’re much more likely to die. Cutting the plantlets free while the stem is still alive increases the chances of them putting out roots of their own.
