Can't see it in the photo, but this very slow plant is a just a single stem...still.

Once the cutting took I waited for it to get its third leaf uncurled and pinned the new root nodes gently down to the soil. Again for the fourth.

Fifth is coming a bit quicker now, and both pinned roots should take hold any week now and send up new growth.
It's been about 2 months since I pinned them.

One paper clip + wire cutters yields two very convenient pins.
Hair pins for larger plants work wonderfully, all those curves hold well in the soil.
