Just snap off a healthy leaf and pop it in the soil near the mother plant. It’s worked for me, but not 100% of the time. Occasionally I’ve had the stems get soggy and they die. You can snap them off and put a rooting agent on them ( Amazon brown jar) and put them in the soil. How it works. Nothing is 100% or full proof!

They can be finicky. Rooting hormone, Dip n Grow, and little high humidity containers. With perlite/peat. And still a % die off. I think it really depends on the species too. Some are more finicky than others
