I gave my scindapsus a much needed haircut and am going to try and propagate. Did I bundle the node pieces correctly and do I just drop them in water and let them root?

I wouldn't bundle them. Being pressed together can promote rot. If you're going for water, basically yes, just make sure the nodes are under water. I like to put the single nodes like this in moss, in a prop box, or clear deli container. Under a good light.

You might consider putting the leafless stems in a soil filled plastic box w/lid. Keep warm, mist soil (do not water like you would a plant) \& only open once a week. Since they have no leaves they don't need sun.

If you're committed to water-try the styrofoam route---get a piece of styrofoam that lays on the top of your vessel. Cut slats that you can put stems in so the bottom reaches the water. The air exposed top of the stem is out of water to encourage leaf growth.
