How would I propagate this? I had cutting that isn’t doing well. I planted in a well draping soil pearlite mix. There’s been no growth and 2 leaves fell. Any advices for propagating something like this?

Definitely cut at the nodes and keep in moss or water for a few weeks and once they start to have secondary roots you are ready to re pot
