So when I bought this there was a plantlet growing on a leaf and that actually recently detached and been growing like crazy, I actually think a leaf is growing on it now but I don’t know but there’s a geeen bit on it that looks like s tiny leaf. But now I’m seeing what look like tiny roots starting to grow on 3 leaves and don’t know what it is. image.jpgimage.jpg

That’s the start of a new plant. The roots grow before there are noticeable leaves.
 
Java Fern and bolbitus reproduce through adventius offspring. So, yes this is normal.
 
Is it normal for them to be produced so quickly though? I’ve had 3 now since I’ve bought it
Mine grow new sprouts very quickly. I must have dozens from my original 7.

Depends on the health of the plant.
 
Good health. It’s happy and is spreading.
There’s not maybe 7 plantets on my plant. 3 gave started growing leaves and the roots are getting pretty big and growing fast. What should I do with them? Should I remove them and plant them or leave them be?
