Yes, and have been very successful.
I have just put the leaf in a small pot with soil and watered accordingly, and also I have done this in a jar of water with the leaf.
I put plastic wrap over the jar of water stab it with a pencil and put the stem of the leaf in the jar, the plastic wrap keeps it upright, and watch it root it is amazing. good luck.
