    I would recommend leaving it till the plantlet develop roots, but I have tried without and it still grow

    my experience with rueben is to leave the plant like that till the roots have grown enough. then you can nip it.

    As long as they have leaves, they have photosynthetic machinery to grow. Not a necessity to have roots to grow...leaves are more important or at least some energy left in case all the leaves are gone to grow back at least a couple.
