   What’s your internodal distance?

     (The internodal distance will be the space between two spots where leaves come off of the stem)

     I’m not sure. But after watching YouTube videos, it seems like my pink princess may not have nodes

     I know there’s a ton of conflicting information out there. All angiosperms (plants that are capable of producing flowers/fruit, which includes philodendron) have nodes, which are the points at which the leaves attach to the stem. They can be super close together on some philodendrons so we don’t always talk about them as much as we would on a vining type. Pink princesses can be finicky to propagate but it’s totally doable. The most straightforward way to propagate is in water. You’ll want to cut between two nodes, ideally including at least a few leaves. I’d recommend removing the bottom leaf unless you have a bare node where the leaf has fallen off. Basically you need at least one point where a leaf previously attached but nothing is growing out of it now. You’ll want to seal the cut end, which can be done by leaving it exposed to the air for 12-24 hours or by dipping it in melted wax, like from a candle. Then put in water and wait until you have secondary roots, so roots branching off of other roots. The roots will be stronger if you also have perlite or LECA in there but you don’t have to use them. Once you have secondary roots you can move to soil, and just make sure you water enough to keep it consistently moist for a couple weeks while it adjusts to soil from water.

     Do you see the big leaf on the right? I suspected the thing on the left sticking out was a node and cut that one at the base. Does that node need to be underwater ? I put a pothos cutting in to help it

     Yes, definitely keep the node you want to root in water and be careful not to have any leaves or petioles submerged

   Probably the most successful way to propagate is by air layering, which is where you cause the plant to build a new root system before you cut the stem. They sell cheap little plastic balls to make it easier (just search air layering on Amazon) but you can just as easily use plastic wrap and tape. Basically you’ll place about a 1-2” diameter of damp sphagnum moss or soil around a node on the stem of the intact plant, wrap it in plastic wrap so moisture doesn’t escape, and tape or tie it securely. Leave it like that on your plant for ~2 months. When you remove the air layering ball or plastic wrap, you should find that it has formed a new root system on the stem. You can then cut below where the roots have formed and transfer that directly to your potting medium.
