Definitely remove the weight and plant the stems separately. And in case you ever get those potted plants in rockwool, you should remove those from the rockwool, separate the individual plants and root them in the substrate, too.

Thanks Naomi,

How are apart would you recommend the individual stems should be planted.

Doesn't matter too much. Plants like a little room to spread their roots. Also, if the stems are bunched too densely, the tops will block the light from getting to the lower parts, and those lower leaves will likely rot away.
