Hello again,

So my Amazon had a growth on it, i assumed it was doing its thang/version of reproducing and sprouted some leaves on it, but now I'm not sure what to do? I'll post a few pics of the stage they are in. Thanks!

you can cut the connecting stem and plant the roots to have distinct plants. Alternately, you can weigh down the whole stem and the roots will dig in to the substrate.

you have at least 4 viable young plants there if you just cut and plant in good soil/substrate.

you only need to cut if you want to remove the runner, or put plants in other tanks. If you want them to grow in this tank, just wrap it where you want it on the botto and weight it down gently.

Be careful not to crush the stem or everything down from the crush point may die or get infected.

Just let it go until you are happy with it then you can cut the new plants off (assuming there is sufficient amount of roots) and plant those. I would leave the last 1 or 2 runners attached to the last plant so that new ones keep growing.

Again I just have to say I am jealous! My plants are 19in tall and not 1 runner even showing!!
But yeah just wait until they have a good root system and then you can cut and replant.
