Ok @emch I’m trying it your way, laying the leaf flat, you said it would produce the most leaves. Something tells me you’re method of propagating will be way more productive with all that underside on the soil. I watched a video that convinced me too

Hmm, I don't lay them flat so much as pop them in a glass of water but...

That is handy. We have a very large one near us but they are more into outdoor plants. Maybe this winter I will be looking for more than just a Poinsettia and notice more of what they have. I have one Rex that I just bought a few weeks ago. It looks like your small one with the bright green colour. The leaves seem to be drying up. Even the new growth. My moisture meter says the watering is good and I did buy distilled water for it. Not sure what is going on. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have mine in a green house environment. They like humility for sure. I’ve watched a few garden care videos and tried many things including lights indoors. The greenhouse humidity seems to be the best. @hkyfvr Diane
