Cut Off A Section Of A Peace Lilly

I was pruning the dead leaves off my indoor peace lilly. I accidentally cut off a whole section of leaves. It has a bulb type thing at the base where I cut it off. Can I get this section to grow roots and if so how do I go about it? I have found some articles that say it it possible. But they only go into if they already have roots. This does not have any roots.

It can be done, but with this species, it will usually dampen off before it grows roots. These articles will help you to take cuttings and force roots with hormone:
