I have had this plant for almost a year, last june, when it had been in the tank for 9months, this happened:

didnt think nothing further of this, since it was just leaves and i cut it down after a few days when they were getting too long.

A few days ago something diffirent happend, this came up:

I thought it was just blooming, but now when its getting longer there are roots coming down from each "unit":

I would really like to use these to grow new plants, is that possible?
If so, how would i do it? Just cut the stilks away and plant them down?
 
Give them a little time to grow up some more, but once roots are formed they are able to be separated from the mother plant.
