Pull up the entire stem- roots and all. Cut it in 1/2. Replant the top half.

Well I have a Question that I think j-man the skater-man is asking. How do you propagate Cabomba?

Oh yeah, hey j-man the skater-man, "Skate or Die"! Sorry had to do that. I'm not for sure how old you are but I started skating in the mid 80's and I used to HATE IT when someone would say that to me. I'm guessing skateboard and not iceskate or blader.

Cut it just above a node and replant the cutting or let it float for a few days to develop roots faster.

off topic but, i hope you're having better luck with cabomba than i did, my plants grew so thick that the lower parts died off and then i had a carpet of dead feathery leaves on the bottom of my tank and it clogged the filter and everything

yeah it's very easy to care for but, when it starts to rot you had better be prepared because it's gonna be messy.
