Slice a healthy looking leaf off the mother plant with a Sharpe instrument such as secateurs or a craft knife, make sure to cut as close to the mother plants stem as possible.

When you have made two cuttings from the mother plant, place the cuttings firmly in soil e.g the stems in soil while the bottom of the leaf just touches the soil.

The soil mixture should be airy with 40 percent perlite and 60 percent compost.

Wrap a plastic bag around top of the small pot the cuttings are in, this is used to boost humidity you could also place them near a humidifier.

KEEP THE CUTTINGS OUT OF DIRECT SUN as this could dry them out and lower your success rate.

Have well propogating.

P.s Don't keep the soil soaking wet as this is likely to rot the stems and again, lower your success rate.
