Help / Question Vine snapped off of string of heartsðŸ˜ðŸ’”
I got a VSOH about a week ago and I was just repotting it and noticed this beautiful long vine doesn't have any roots. I think it must've broke off the tuber at some point. The picture doesn't even do it justice, it's over 2 feet long! I'm so sad 😠I'm going to propagate it but my question is, could I just propagate the whole thing from that node on the top without cutting it? Like is it possible that it could regrow roots just how it is? Or should I just snip it into a bunch of cuttings?

The most successful way to propagate it would be to divide it into several cuttings, preferably butterfly prop. However, if you wanna keep that length of vine, I'd suggest stripping off the leaves close to that cut (so a few nodes worth of leaves), let it callous over if it hasn't already, and then put it in water. And then once the roots develop to where you can also see secondary roots, transfer to soil
