I rooted a tropical hib this summer by simply removing the leaves, dipping the stem in rooting hormone, and sticking it into the soil in the pot with the mother plant. I covered the cut piece with a milk jug with the bottom cut out to provide additional humidity, and it rooted after about 6 weeks. Might work better to try that than to try rooting it in water.

Rose nutty is right. Putting it in potting soil will get the roots to form.
