yes you can. using a sharp knife [kitchen knife is fine just wash well afterwards] cut the new growth, called pups, as close to the main stem of the plant. keep as much soil on the cutting's roots as possible. repot in a good compost with plenty of grit. water well and keep an eye on it. They prefer to be on the dryish side once settled.
