It should be pretty easy to start cuttings. I like to start them in a relatively small pot, and then scale up once they are going strong and putting out new growth. That allows me to water more often without being overly concerned about wet feet. Don't bury a huge amount of stem, just an inch or two (or none at all, if you want to lay a stem flat on the soil). Be aware the cuttings will not be able to use the water in the soil until they have a decent set of roots, so it may dry out slower at the beginning.
