Anyhoos I bought five pups, don't know if that's right word but bought 5 and they were just bloody leaves, I just put mine about two inches in soil and left them, they all grown since and now have a little stem going on there.

@Leeski Just twist a leaf off the plant. let the leaf dry up for a few days. (2 or 3 days is fine) The break will callas over , thats when its ready to lay on top of your mix. Keep your mix moist and just place the lil pup on top. If you want to you can place in a dome just for a few more days....no more then a week......after that just keep the soil moist until you see it growing , then back off on the water a tad and watch um grow!
EDIT for terrarium : Place the leaf right in that fish tank and lay it right on top of some moist spagmoss. it will grow roots. The hardy ones will grow roots without letting them dry and all that. Just chuck the piece into a shallow pot of good draining mix.

I never thought of that that’s a cracking idea mate will have to look into that I did intend to do a FPJ with it but like the extraction idea ..
