Flowers from the plant will not be able to be propagated. Flowering hormones drastically inhibit rooting and vegetative hormones. Under laboratory conditions, and by controlling exactly what chemicals they are exposed to in sterile conditions, You can force growth. Likely, though, this is not going to be the case in your normal home setting.
