Beschorneria yuccoides leaf cuttings?

[meanie]

Quite simple really  - is it possible to propagate Beschorneria yuccoides by way of leaf cuttings?
I snapped one off and am wondering if this will be a waste of time!

All advice is appreciated!

Only one way to find out Meanie. Sometimes thick leaves if broken then inserted in damp sand will make new little plants along the edge, so it might be worth trying. I'd go for a clean cut rather than a break. The thin leaves of Heloniopsis will also propagate this way as well as at the tips. Trying to think of a couple of other things that also will do this way but can't, for the moment. I know there are some.

Took two leaf cuttings from the broken leaf - made with a brand new sterilized blade. Now in propagator with bottom heat.

Below is a photo of one of the Eucomis comosa leaf cuttings that I did a couple of months ago - this one cutting has put up four shoots (three visible).
