I think for propagating it you must have a stem. It's a shrub type and though I have had a leaf root, the general consensus is that it will never (or take forever and a day) produce a plant. I was told the same thing for b. gehrtii, but Kell got one to root and make babies. So never say never. LOL.

I would suggest trying a perlite/vermiculite blend and keeping it constantly moist, not soggy and see what results you get. You might also want to put a lid (dome or whatever you can to make a terrarium environment)

A cheap way to do that is to use a litre soda bottle and cut it in half. Poke holes in the bottom so it can drain, then plant up your cuttings and put the top back on.

This one is different but you can see what I mean. After I cut the bottom off, I cut a small 1/4 wedge shape out so it slips over easier. I can take some more photos if you like.
