You should be able to cut off a leaf and some stem and where it meets the leaf, cut a small circle around that stem area which will expose the veins of the leaf. You can then take the leaf and put the cut part down to the soil, covering the cut area and give a little water. In a few weeks, it should sprout some new leaves. You also can take the leaf and cut it into sections, leaving a vein and plant those individual cuttings into soil as well Another way is to cut the stems so they can be placed in water. Eventually, they should start growing roots. Just let them grow until you have a good mass of roots. You can then plant the roots in the soil leaving a little bit of stem. You may even see some leaves growing just above the roots on the stem in the water which is even better when you transplant the soil. Here are some Asian Tundra leaves, am doing that with right now.
