Dimmer, I don't know if I am right, but I cut the petiole down to less than 1/2".......I have been successful......here is a picture.....let me find one.....then I keep a cover on them for a while until i think they are rooting....under gro-lights at the highest level because it is warmer up 'there'

PS edited to say that you have to be careful when rooting anything that you have the proper volume of soil....with a leaf you could easily use a 2" av pot or I buy those 3 oz. solo cups at the grocery store (you know, the ones people put in dispensers at the lavatory in baths)
Too much volume of soil makes it much more difficult to root....
