Happy New Year all!

I have started going on the assumption that the plant should resorb the nutrition from the used spike before I cut it. I have had some dry up quickly, so I cut them off when dry. Others have remained green. One has now started to resprout from the upper portion of the spike after a month without flowers. Only the distal 1 inche dried up.

Is my assumption wrong? Should I cut back when the flowers die? This one that is resprouting started the new spike while there were still flowers on it. The new spike is on the left, the middle spike has the new 1 inch sprout, and the right is still stiff and green
