Yes, I would try that. Cuttings should be 12–15 inches long (if possible) and approximately ½ inch wide (or more). If any leaves are present on the cutting, you can remove some or all of them to reduce transpiration(too much moisture loss through the leaves). Allow the cutting to dry so a callus forms on the cut end (maybe in for three to five days???). Sink the cutting base about 3 inches into an already moistened container with a very well draining potting soil (like cactus mix). Do not water for the first 5-6 weeks while the cutting is developing roots (to prevent rotting). But, begin to water lightly when new leaves begin to develop. As new leaves become fully developed, resume "normal" watering. The potting soil in the container should stay moist but not wet.
