@Lifeofkylee12. Cut healthy stems, let them callous over, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Alternatively, you can propagate leaf cuttings by removing leaves, letting them dry, and then planting them in soil. You could just make the cut: Snip the stem just below a node (where leaves emerge) at a 45-degree angle. But also remove all the leaves from below and let everything callous over for a few days, this prevents root rot before dipping each piece in rooting hormone and plant the cuttings in a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. They should grow roots in a few weeks. Water sparingly at first, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Hope this helps, Happy Growing!!
You can also use a chopstick for structure.
