Why can't it be harvested???

Just pluck it out of your tank.

U propagate it the same way you do to a stemmed plant. It actually grows like a stemmed plants although it looks like a rosette plant. Just pinch off a bunch, remove the bottom leaves and insert the stalk into the gravel. Make sure you have bottom ferts as they are quite a heavy bottom feeder.

Cheers!

Many new daughter plants will branch out from the base of the mother plant. When the daugther plants are of reasonable size, you can cut them off from the mother and replant them.
