Brazilian Swords

[JackBurton]

I bought a couple of brazilian Swords a couple of weeks ago. One of the plants came with an off shoot with baby plants just forming. A couple of weeks later and the roots on the babies are getting pretty long. I have a couple of questions.

How do I separate them? Just nip them off and plant in the substrate? How long should the roots be before I separate them?

Just cut them off and plant them in the substrate. Make sure they have roots before planting them.

yep, just separate them and and plant.
as an alternate method, you could weigh down the runner with a rock, and allow the plants to naturally take root, after which you would remove the excess runners with some scissors and a couple quick cuts.
