Interesting, do you have the links to those threads? Doing it is common for the related Phal stuartiana, but I've never heard of schilleriana growing new plants from roots!

Phal Scilleriana Root Keiki

Hopefully it lets me post it this time! Sadly I'm new enough that the forum wasn't letting me post links last time...

That post also mentions it's a characteristic of Staurtiana as well!
