I’ve never propagated a plant before but I’m attempting to with this leaf from my Chinese money plant. Will this work?

These are one of the unique plants that actually \*can\* be propagated by a single leaf! However, your chances for a successful propagation increase if you use a sharp knife to take a leaf cutting with a small portion of the main stem still attached to it.
