I've never tried it, but I can try it on a small stem of it.  

When I first got my first couple stems, I let it grow until it reached
the surface.  Then I cut the stems in half.  I replanted the tops, and
left the bottoms planted.   The bottoms grew thicker and not as
decorative, but formed two nice attractive stems rising from where
they were pruned.   Now, when I trim, I remove the bottoms, and 
replant the tops.   I do re-plant the bottoms in the back, to
continue growing to produce more new stems.

I've found it grows quickly when fertilized with a jobes stick at the
roots.
