Can you cut anubias nana and bolbitis rhizomes to make new plants? What's the proper way of doing this?

I know both grow slowly, so I'm not sure it makes sense to cut one piece into smaller pieces, even if you can.

Yes, you can divide them by cutting through the rhizome with a sharp knife. Just be sure to keep growing points (leaves or emerging leaves) on all pieces.

Doesn't hurt to also leave a couple roots on as well. Also I wouldn't recommend making the chicks if rhizome shorter that 1/2" with anubias (no experience with bolbitis)

The rhizome stores energy to then produce more leaves. The shorter the rhizome the longer it will take to grow compared to a larger rhizome (my experience at least).
