im not sure exact sword species but what you have are daughter plants. cut the runner and plant the daughter plants in the substrate like you would a normal plant. or sell them. this means your sword is very happy and healthy, congrats!

Awesome they are popping up like crazy and now when you say cut the runner do you mean just the "daughter" plant or the entire stem off

Thanks!
you can cut the runner all the way at the base of where it attaches to the mother plant. otherwise it will just die once you cut the daughter plant off. don't worry it will send out more of the runners (inflorescence is the real name of the long stalk thing I think) later on. when it happens again it is important to let the daughter plant get some size on it before cutting the runner. I think 2" leaves is the key, or when you see good roots you know the daughter plant can survive on its own. yours are plenty big to cut. very nice sword
