Java Fern Plantlets

Question about Java Fern. My Java Fern is propogating like crazy and along with new leaves growing on the rhizome I have plantlets growing on the leaves. So my question is how do I handle the plantlets. I've been told to just attach them to rocks or driftwood but they're just leaf and root. How would I attach them in that case? Thread around the roots or the leaf? There's no rhizome to tie to so those are my only options. In some cases the roots are twice as long as the leaf. Suggestions...

From what I've heard just tie around the roots.
I'd offer more advice but Java Fern is the only plant that I really can't keep alive...

Leave them on the parent plant until the leaves are about 1/2 inch then gently pull them off. Attach the plant with thread or rubber band to a rock or piece of wood.

Okay. I was worried that pressure on the root would harm the plant so thanks.
