Yes you can. You will want to use new growth, about 4 inches long. Remove lower leaves, leaving just the upper two. Plant your cuttings in growth medium and make sure to water regularly.

You can propagate this vine by cuttings. Planting the cutting in soil, remove bottom leaves make sure the nodes are well-covered, as this is where the roots will start. This will take up to several months. You can also put bottom part of vine in water and it will root.

Yes, to be honest, that is the only and most correct way to propagate any sort of plants. Especially for the Stephanotis you should just cut it from its top roots. This will help stem propagation. You might also want to use some fertilizer with adequate plant nutrition to help.

Cut the long cane off of your Stephanotis. Dip the ends of the cuttings in a hormone-rooting liquid. This will allow your cuttings to grow quicker. Place the treated cutting ends in a good quality potting soil. Place the cutting in a well lit, warm area and they should begin to root quickly.

Cut some new growth that's at least 4 inches long and trim the bottom leaves. Put the cutting in soil or water that covers the nodes. Let it grow roots.
