I've not heard of this happening, but they are supposed to be able to
grow from leaf cuttings, and people talk of 'flower stem' cuttings
too. If your plantlets are still doing well, then I assume that the
remaining leaf is still connected to roots undergroud. I'd be
reluctant to recommend cutting it or the plantlets off in case the
whole lot died. I wonder if you could pin the leaf down in contact
with the soil to encourage the plantlets to produce roots.
