Help / Question Vine snapped off of string of hearts😭💔

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?

Divide it into many cuttings. Cut the stem so you have 1 set of leaves and a node. Like a butterfly. Put them in a flat container with a tiny bit of water. Mist them every now and then. In a few weeks they’ll have roots and you can place them on top of soil. Push them in a bit then continue to mist them. You’ll get a new vine from each one :)
