I have to admit, as someone who loves to make treasure out of trash, and as an urban gardener surrounded by alanthis, I have thought about trying this.
I agree that the compound leaves are probably too big. It also seems to grow really fast too (that's good or bad I guess depending on you pov). I guess I have to admit that my general disdain for the species had also kept me from trying it.
As for how to propigate it... Just leave a pot of soil out on my sidewalk for a couple of hours and I'm sure one of those things will volunteer to grow itself in it.
Barring that, probably a cutting would do it. It seems its harder to get them to not grow than to grow.
Go for it, good luck with it, and for sure let us know how it goes!
