I haven't the slightest clue... I had to get my book out just so I could be sure I didn't know what you were talking about. Turns out I know, but I can't grow them. I would have thought starting in water would work fine, but I already said I was clueless. Here's what the book says:

Take 2-inch-long tip cuttings in spring or summer. Insert several cuttings of C. elegans or one cutting of C. fragrans in a 2- or 3-inch pot of standard potting mixture, and keep them in bright filtered light, watering sparingly. After two to three weeks, when roots have developed treat the cuttings as mature callisias.


HTH and let us know what you try next. I have had luck with Jon Dixon's refrigerator bag trick. Using peat and perlite quite damp in a zip lock with bottom heat I have rooted some contrary peperomias. One of which recently had a meltdown. I gave it an extra 1/2 cup of water and the soil did not dry like it should so now I have plant soup and two teeny sprouts who aren't sure if they 'can' or not!
