Just like the title says my amazon sword started grow a stalk and then slowly miniature amazon swords started growing off it. Now there are roots on both of the miniature swords. When should I remove and plant them? Also, how do I do it?
My amazon swords are reproduciong

i think there supposed to fall off after a time, but it doesn't matter as said above.
the only thing i would tell you is once i completely removed the stem, and it never grew another one, may just be a coincidence.

you can break them off with your fingers/nail - it's good to wait a bit when they grow they own roots 
the one pictured is ready to go - just try not to plant it too deep and make sure the roots don't "roll" up - trim them, make sure they are in the substrate - swords are HEAVY root feeders, they LOVE iron ( tablet or fertilized to the water column )
