I wanted to clone my hop plant in case it dies during winter. What is the best way to clone hops? Can I just cut a bine and stick it in soil, or water? Is it that easy? Some plants are.

Thanks for the help.
Hops is a deciduous, perennial north American native plant. It does grow wild here in Missouri and returns every spring.

It may not survive the winter if the tops are not allowed to die,
