That is a great find there and the leaves should propagate easily. I don't think I've done one of those in water but willing to give it a try. It looks like 'Cowardly Lion' but then there are several that look similar.

Cowardly Lion is a stinker though - it will be looking great and then it goes into sudden decline. I found it really likes to be on the drier side. 'Northern Lights' must be its kissing cousin and acts the same way.

Here is a picture of mine earlier this summer. It dropped all its leaves (too wet?) and now has little ones coming back. I grabbed 3 leaves and stuck each in its own plastic food container with a damp paper towel. One dried up to nothing. The other two are just as perfect as the day I grabbed them and that has probably been 7 weeks or more. The two survivors are showing just a bit of root now and I should put them in soil but there are just too many other things to do.
