I'm going to have a punt that they are like box where you gently down-tear off a young twig so as to get a "heel" cutting. This is a stem that has a little bit of the bark from the branch it was taken from, then you put it into a pot with compost so about a third is buried. Sometimes a hormone-rooting compound helps it to start producing roots. Another way might be to take a pliable stem close to the ground then gently make a little nick just into the bark on the underside. Make a small dint into the soil with a trowel then push it in and secure it with a stone or something so it doesn't come out. This is called layer-cutting.
