Take your cuttings from the plant and trim them down. You want to keep as much stem either side of the node as possible.

Set the cuttings aside for half a day so the wounds heal over. This avoids rot as the wound cannot get water in it.

Fill a cup with wet sphagnum moss. You want to soak it, then squeeze off excess water. Don't pack it heavily as you want air to get to the roots.

Add the nodes to the moss so they are partially buried. You want the nodes touching moist moss to encourage rooting.

Cover the nodes with a bit more moss, don't pack it tight as you want air to get to the nodes as well as the moist moss.

Put the cup in a bag to keep it humid. This will encourage rooting. Keep the bag a bit open as you can get rot more easily if the air cannot move.

Keep it moist, humid and well lit until the nodes root. When they have developed roots and you see new leaf growth you can move them to soil.
