How do I propagate the 'Bat Plant' - house plant?


I reciently bought a Tacca chantieri 'Black Beauty' Bat Plant. It's main flower is now dieing but it appears to have four new plants forming around the base of the main stem. Can I lift the plant out and seperate rather like a daffodil bulb? and, if so what sort of compost is best to use to repot with? Also what is the best aftercare for mother and babies?

strange and beautiful, too... thanks for the intro to this one!...
