Once the plant is all grown and mature the roots will be healthy enough to support the plant and the bulb will grow slightly away from the plant.. even if its 1/4" you can simply just pull it off. I have done this to Tiger lotus but havent tried doing it to aponogeton since i gave it to someone else before I found out the propagation lol.. I bought of 6 of those bulbs 2 were duds (onion plant is the worst).. 2 were lilies and 2 were aponogeton. The aponogeton bloomed for me like crazy, ive had 4-5 blooms all at ones and more coming.
Throw some substrate in the tank, even if its sand (cheap) or regular gravel you might have laying around. It will collect all the goodies and provide good nutrients for the plants.
