Growing Beetroot, also Beets

12 May 13 Anne (Australia - sub-tropical climate): I put the "lid" of a beetroot in some water and the leaves sprouted, so I dipped it in rooting powder and put the lot in a pot. Now the leaves are continuing to grow. What's happening under the soil? Are little beets going to grow? How do I make them grow? Do I separate out the clumps of leaf and replant each in a pot or in the garden? Advice please! Thank you
