Your former keiki is now a cutting. But the cane looks like it may be hard enough to possibly form a keiki of its own from one of its nodes. Certain kinds of den cuttings will do that. One thing that might help (if you are willing to sacrifice) is to cut off the young part at the very top of the keiki (the apex). By doing so, you would break the apical dominance at the top & possibly encourage the cane to produce a keiki. The cane elongating more isn't going to do much good anyway, without roots.
If you top the cutting, rather than just elongating, the cutting may be more inclined to produce a keiki at one of the nodes. You notice that I used 'may' a lot. But I have seen it happen with various types of dens; more often, it happens when canes are laid down horizontally & kept shady & humid.
