krys,
this isn't actually a rex begonia, but the specias Begonia masoniana. it's commonly called the "iron cross" begonia.
there are several posts on this forum dealing with propagation, one called "Begonia propagation for newbies." if you've ever grown african violet leaves, you can prop. this one in a similar fashion.
