Just snap a leaf off with a little of the stem if possible. Bury it a little past the stem (up onto the bottom of the leaf) in a nice potting soil, water the soil, and keep the soil moist. After a while, you will see a tiny new leaf growing from the base of the old leaf. When it gets large enough, you can transplant it in a larger pot. This is a great way to start new plants if leaves happen to break off.
