Dimmer,
This looks like a variety of the Philodendron hybrid known as "Autum" or "Prince of Orange". The leaves originally come out orange or copper and eventually turn green as they mature. The propagation method of "airlayering" that MaypopLaurel suggested is the same one that is recommended in my plant book. It also says that the new plants may not have the same branching habit of the original plant.

Here's a picture of my Prince of Orange. There's some background information on it in the Foliage Plant forum. I have not tried to progate this one because the main plant had 2 offsets when I bought it. Unless it gets too big, I don't plant to touch it.
