Thanks a lot! I grow it in a pot on a balcony since I do not have a garden. We hardly get any frosts in winter, but I will let it be until it starts growing again in spring.
I know mum leaves them like that too, but she gets lots of snow and very cold winters.
Now I can't wait to see the flowers :) Thanks again!

It'll love your balcony. It likes dry feet and lots of sun! And yeah, we need to protect them from wet, cold and snow here in the UK - so if you do find the dead stems not to your liking, I suspect you have a choice to remove them. Just do it delicately as if it's a little plant you don't want to damage it while it's trying to establish. Good luck - and share pics as it gets going! Would love to see them.
I definitely will show it :)
Winters here (Portugal) can be very rainy and that is the only worry with succulents and cacti. Just have to make sure they don't stand in water.
I love Portugal - even your wet winters! Stayed in Oporto for a while during the Festival of San Juan (São João) a few years back on a European journalism scholarship and fell in love with the country... and port! haha.
Guess what... I have never beet to Porto :D
But I do love the drink ;) Winters here are not so bad... not as miserable as in UK I'd say, but I do miss the snow and the freezing cold (since I am Polish).
