The other way is to break off a leaf and leave about a 2" stem on it.

Get a SMALL glass or vase--about 2" in diameter--fill it close to the top with water.
A bigger Shot Glass would work great.
Then stretch, tightly, some plastic wrap over the top of the vase. Poke a small hole in it.

Take the stem of the AV leaf and slip it through the hole in the plastic wrap.
This will keep the bottom of the leaf from touching the water...

That's it! Let it sit on a Northern windowsill until there are new leaves coming up
from the bottom of the leaf. Then--pot ot up--keeping it barely moist until the new
growths break the soil and start growing...

Patience is all this takes....One leaf==one plant to sell....
You could make a lot of money--it just takes planning and timing it right....

Here is an example of the water-rooting. I just set it up to take the picture--
so there are NO roots yet to see....
