I tried snipping the large leaf into a smaller size and put it in
water. I've had success like this with african violets and other
gloxinia..but this one just rotted. Maybe because I clipped the leaf to
a smaller size?

I've not done this, but I think I read a long time ago that you slice
across the major veins in the leaf from the bottom, and then lay the
leaf on top of moist potting soil and cover with a plastic bag tent.
The baby plants form at the cut sites.
