Callas,

Cut pieces 3" long, stick them in a 6" pot of good potting soil about a third of their length, tent them with clear plastic, mist daily (early). Careful that they don't get direct sun for the first couple weeks.

No need to remove the leaves and use a pencil to make the hole to insert them. Make sure they have good contact with the soil. I put 10 in a 6" pot, fills in nicely.

When they start to show growth uncover and slowly increase the light levels until the are in full to part day sun. Takes about 6 weeks.

Most 'trailing' plants are easy to root using the above method. I think it is in their nature to root as they grow across the ground.
