Hi,
I took cuttings from mine when I pruned it in winter. I kept it in water, replacing with fresh water every two or three days, and after a while one could see white "marks" on the stem where the roots ere starting to form. I planted the cuttings in ordinary potting soil and once I saw new growth I started giving it some diluted fertilizer.

Good luck,
