A friend has given me a Bat Plant....it currently is not in bloom. There is a large stalk, seemingly dead or dormant, surrounding by small healthy "babies" at it's base. I am guessing that these are new plants. My question is two-fold.
How do a separate the "babies" from the parent plant and how do I encourage the "babies" to root, grow, and eventually bloom??
