Chirita sinensis 'Hisako' is my fav and easiest Chirita to progate. I cut off a young healthy leaf. Prepare a small pot or 3, or 5 oz solo cup with hole. Label them with names. Fill the with soil-less mixture lightest the best. Stick the leaf into pot down an inch or so into middle . I water with warm/hot water threw . Let pot drain. Place them on tray or plastic clear box under lights, keep warm, heat mats are healpful in Winter. Will grow and porgate in natural light too. Be careful windowsills get ten degrees colder than room, remove them from windows at night in Winter.
I keep Mom leaf with them until Mom leaf dies. This gives the babies a chance to grow faster into more healthy plants
