Yes, a tall flower stem can be cut off an agave plant, typically after it has finished blooming. This process, known as "deheading," can help redirect the plant's energy back to the rosette of leaves and promote healthier growth. However, care should be taken to make clean cuts to avoid damaging the plant. Keep in mind that cutting the flower stalk will not harm the plant significantly but may affect its reproductive cycle.

Can a cut flower live in orange juice and make another flower on the cut flower?
A cut flower may be able to live for a very short time in orange juice. But the sugar that provides the energy the flower needs will quickly begin to also provide a source of nutrients to bacteria. As they grow in the water, they will clog the stem of the flower, causing it to then wilt because it can no longer intake the water it needs. This is why you should use only professional flower food in the vases of cut flowers. You can get packets of flower food from your florist. A new flower can't grow from a cut-flower stem. But if a stem has a bud on it, as well as an open flower, depending on the type of flower, the bud may open as well.

What do you do when the petals of the flower have fallen off?
It you are talking about a plant it depends on whether you wish the fruit to ripen either for decorative purposes or for eating. If you do then leave the remains of the flower in situ. If you just want to dispose of the dead flower, just cut if off as this will often encourage more flower buds to grow. If you are talking about a flower in a vase, if there are more flowers on the stem cut off the dead one. If there was only one flower on the stem and the petals have fallen, remove the entire stem from the vase and dispose of it.
