Disagree that leafs are harder, you just have to pick a strong healthy leaf. Cut it as close to the plant as possible - the longer the stalk the better chances of success. You can a) place it on top of soil in a humid environment (think closed container or a ziplock bag over the container) or b) stick the leaf in water. Both will work. I prefer the water method - changing regularly - as I like watching the progress. Once you have 2-3” of roots, you can plant. If you use the soil method you just have to keep it most and you’ll eventually see a small plant forming at the cut point of the stalk.
Good luck!!!!

I can grow violets well and I can propagate well…. But violets are hard to propagate. Suckers will propagate easier than a leaf would .
