Make sure to not put them in a dark area. But also make sure it’s not in to much direct sunlight :)

I don’t think you can prop this plant from a leaf :(

I think with Chinese money plants you have to wait for the babies to sprout from the bottom, this is what mine looks like

Found this online - my friend wanted one too so was looking into how to propagate I believe yours doesn't have a node attached and won't root in water but does look like it's possible to do a single leaf prop in water

Unfortunately you can’t take a proper cutting, you have to pop the leaf off right at the node and I only once have gotten it to root in water after that. Better to propagate the pups.
