No, I don't do anything special. Try to cut off the oversized leaf edges, trim the petiole to an inch or two, and pick a halfway decent leaf.

Here is a fairly easy way to prop - a large tank for humidity, 16 oz cups full of perlite and watered well (drain holes are cut on the bottom edge), and place the cuttings in the cups and nestled among the weedy episcia. I've had to throw a few leaves out from rotting but most look pretty good.
