Beginner Gardening: rerooting a peace lilly, 1 by Stouffer

I received a tropical planter about two years ago. There is a peace lilly that has a stem about 6 inches long. It's getting a little top heavy, tends to bend slightly to one side. I made a support out of straws to help hold it up. As you can see in the picture (sorry about the blur) from the bottom up where it turns to a lighter green, this is where most of the leaves have grown from. There are a few below on the stem. It also has about 10 white bumps (shown) 6 on the other side. Which I was always told that if you place them in water roots will grow.

I was wondering if I can cut the stem just below the lower three bumps(in the pic) if it would reroot and survive.
