They can be propagated through leaf cuttings or division.

Leaf Cuttings Take healthy leaves and allow them to callus (dry out) for a day or two.

[{"selector":"#anim-a809eb20-1059-4f3d-92b5-5216c0631535 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.909909909909908%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Then, insert the callused end into a well-draining medium.

[{"selector":"#anim-8ef7c8e4-1bfe-42ac-b81a-2ff000bbb84a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Keep the medium slightly moist and provide indirect light. New growth will emerge from the base of the leaf cutting..

Division For larger plants, carefully divide the rhizomes (underground stems) and pot each division into separate containers with fresh potting mix.
