Looks like a croton.  
Give propagation a try 🤷🏼‍♀️

definitely possible but the leaves are too big. take the bottom one off and cut the top one to be smaller (like an inch or two long). leaves too large require more water than the cutting can get to them, making it dry out and die. let it callous overnight and stick it in some water. they're slow as christmas but they will eventually grow roots

Putting it in a glass of water will help it grow healthy roots, but make sure that you change the water every once in a while, then once the roots are about 2-3 inches, repot it in soil and you should be good from there 👍
