I have an anubias that has grown so much it is sticking out of the water. It has a bunch of roots here and there. How do I cut it so I can grow it as another plant?
 
yep... most folks suggest 3 full nodes... up to 5 per plant. often referred to as leaf count... but without roots, you could kill the plant.
 
Yeah, slice with a sharp knife, razor blade or even sharp scissors. Allow 3+ leaves & some roots for each section. It may take a long while for the plant to recover. Expect it to possibly branch at the cut end(s), remember anubias are slow growers. Good luck!
 
Thank you all for the help.
