Leaf cuttings

Is this true, and as easy as it sounds? I've noticed when pulling dead leaves out that sometimes the base of the leaf comes out with it. I'm presuming all I have to do is pull a healthy, young(ish) leaf out, and poke the base of it into something damp? Wrong time of year, I know, but I've not had a spring with my CPs yet, and I'd like to be prepared.

While I'm on the subject, I have two other plants I'd like to grow more of. I don't know the names of what I've got here, but I do have a photo:

The sundew is apparently easy to grow from leaf. I've tried it, but the leaf just dies

Any help anyone can give me would be fantastic. Thank you!
