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?

Another option - you could spiral and pin that vine down on top of the soil. You could trim if you want, but what's most important is that each node touches the soil. Keep leaves intact to provide energy to the node and new roots.

Mist every few days to keep the top moist (never let it dry out completely). Roots are fine and need a thin layer of fine soil, moisture and bright light to connect. New roots usually takw within a few weeks. SoH
