Here's what I do.  I wait 'til the baby swords are about 1/4 to 1/3 the length 
of it's parent, then I cut the stalk close to the parent's base.  By hand, I
carefully break off the baby plants from the stalk. I usually get about 3 to 4
baby plants per clump.  There's usually several clumps per stalk. Since I waited
until the babies are fairly big, they have already developed roots and are ready
to be planted.  I've gotten hundreds of babies swords this way.
