Hmmm heres some suggestions. Not too sure about these kinds of plants but u could pluck some leafs off and propergate it on soil٫ or doing the water way by putting the stem part in water٫ or! by putting some leafs in a tissue and spraying water on them. tho some folk just throw them in a propergation box and hope for the best٫ but id say the water way works the best x

For he string of turtles just lay it in some tropical soil mix and press them in a bit and keep them moist. They’re slow growers but they should root. A clear baggie as a humidity dome would help at the beginning till they root. Be gentle with them as the roots are super delicate
