Concerning A Sucker That Broke Off My European Fan Palm, How Do I Root It?

I own what I believe to be an European Fan Palm, a side sucker shoot broke off and it has zero roots on it, my question is how can I get it to root, so I later can plant it in a pot with dirt? Do I try and root it in water, or can it go straight into a pot with soil?
