how can i get rid of convululus from my garden and in my lawn »
I have started 2 plants from shoots like this, Once they had a few leaves I just broke them off the main stem carefully and potted them up. In a few weeks new leaves started to grow up from the centre of the clump and the original leaves died off. I now have 2 healthy new plants with about 6 leaves each.
I would try just one to start with, then if it fails you can try something different with the others.
Good luck
