I got a red/brown dwarf lily about a month ago. It's now full of nice large leaves, with a total height of about 8". Usually, it's been putting out a leaf every couple days. Last week it started putting out a streamer. this leaf has taken over 1 week to now reach the top of the tank and open. Of course it hasn't had any other growth during this time, and this leaf is more round than spaid shaped.


If I leave this leaf there, will other leaves now start growing that tall or will they go back to being compact? Will this leaf stunt the plant if I leave it, slow down future growth? Also, it has roots about half way down, can I trim it and plant it, even though it has no bulb? What should I do? I wanted it short and compact and bushy, it's in the front of the tank. 1 long leaf is fine, but not if they're all gonna grow to the sky!
 
This is about the best I can do, sending it through my phone.

It's the plant right up in front, and the streamer is in the upper right corner there.

That's why I'm asking if this is what's going to happen. I don't know. A lot of plants put out runners and then continue growing like normal again. I'll have a place for the plant regardless, it's in a 150. But I'd like some advice on how it actually grows because I can't find any specific helpful information online. only thing I found was "height reaches 7-31"." that's quite a range LOL.
