When to propagate Rose Sword plant

[Bobbym9]

I have a rose sword plant and it is shooting out runners! I am wondering when is a good to separate them and plant them elsewhere. I just noticed today that it is shooting out a runner in the back too! How many/often will it do this?
Thanks for any feedback!

Once each plantlet gets some roots on it then it can be separated from the mother plant and replanted.

Ok thanks so much. I think it's hard to see in the pic but they have some roots about an in long! Should I just cut the rest of the stem all the way back or leave some of it?

I would wait two more week let them get bigger. I cut my shoots to the base. I have an amazon sword got 10 plant lets of two shoots. And have two more growing out.

I cut mine when roots are long enough to secure the plant in the substrate. If you cut them when they are too short then you have a heck of a time keeping the baby plant in the substrate. I also cut my stem completely off.
