Judy,
Yes, you can take cuttings; they root pretty readily. But, you will need
cool temps; good light and high room humidity for the cuttings, once
they've rooted - same as for the mother plant - to bring them through the
winter.
There are varieties with smaller leaves, plus the gold-green leaf one,
actually sort of a nice light chartreuse - can't recall the actual cultivar
name. I love these plants but not the dratted leaf minor, which I think
attacks them where I am because the plants really don't like hot, humid
climates.
