Lynne: These "shoots" are new growths for the plant as a whole. You need
3-4 of them [a couple of old ones, 1 new one] to make a decent division.
So please, go hide the cutters where it will take you a long time to find
them!!!

IF the plant [not just some stray roots, but the actual growths of the
plant] are starting to grow outside of the pot, then you might want to give
it a bigger one, but that doesn't require cutting. If the plant is in lava
rock, you can just remove the old pot, put the whole thing into a SLIGHTLY
larger pot and fill around. If it's in bark, moss, or something else that
goes bad, you should remove the old mix and use all fresh. If you have new
growth coming, and it sounds like you do, this is a good time to do that.

Folks vary in their descriptions of light -- by my definition, if your
bathroom has a roof on it that is not 100% skylight, it is NOT full sun.
Watch your leaf color, you do not want it to get to be deep forest green.
You didn't say where you were, but I suspect that if you do keep the plant
inside, you will need to nudge it closer to the light source.

Good growing, Kenni

My bathroom is probably the lightest room in the house. Virtually all one
wall is window and gets full sun for most of the day. The plant is just
to
the side of the window where it gets the light but is not directly hit
with
the sun.

Will I need to take off the shoots when they get bigger, and if so, about
how big. Now I have got it this far I want to nurture it to full beauty
but
don't want to do anything to risk damaging it or killing it.

Thank you for your advice. It is very much appreciated.
