Water Lettuce and Hyacinth Question!!

Eyota, MN(Zone 4a)

Earlier this spring, I bought one water hyacinth and one water lettuce plant. since then, they have been shooting out little babies. My question is whether or not I can cut the babies off, or will they divide by themselves and just detach from the mother plant?

Thanks for any help!

I divide mine to spread them out over the pond. I think they will eventually break off, but I don't ever give them a chance:)

discodancer, I wait till the babies have a nice root system and then just pinch off the stem that attaches them to the mother plant.
