I had a branch fall off mine, I stuck it back in the soil and watered it and it took. Also the little leaves will propagate if you lay them on top of soil and keep it a little more moist than normal.

Mine is a little bit different than yours but look for air roots, this is what they look like on mine

You can cut it under that bottom leaf and then gently remove the bottom 2 or 3 leaves, let the cut callus for a few hours and then stick the piece in some soil and keep it a little more most than you usually would. It should start making roots where the leaves were. This is how I’ve had a lot of success :)
