How do I propagate it?

4โ€ pot with drainage

@SveltePlanty86 from stem cuttings you can do the following:
Choose a healthy stem: Select a stem with at least three or four leaves.
Take the cutting: Cut the stem just below a leaf node (where a leaf joins the stem) using clean scissors or pruning shears.
Prepare the cutting: Remove the lower leaves from the stem, leaving only a few at the top.
Plant in soil: Fill a small pot with moist, well-draining soil. Plant the stem cutting, ensuring the node is buried.
Create humidity: Cover the pot with a plastic bag or use a humidity dome to create a greenhouse environment.
Water and light: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Place the pot in a warm, bright spot with indirect light.
Acclimatize: Once new leaves emerge, gradually acclimate the new plant to normal household humidity. You can also propagate from leaf cuttings. Iโ€™ve done it with my raindrop Pepermonia where I rooted in water and then planted in soil once the roots were 2 inches long. I have a new baby plant out of it! It took about 3 months in total to get this big.
