at this point, I'd cut it into multiple cuttings and see if I could save any of them. but maybe that's just me 😅

It looks too long.  
\- Cut it into pieces with 2 nodes per cutting.  
\- Remove leaves from the lower nodes to prevent them from rotting and contaminating the water.  
\- Put the lower nodes into water  
\- Place the cuttings in bright indirect light. It takes about 2 weeks to see new roots.  
\- Fertilize with 50% diluted fertilizer with every water change once the roots start growing.  
\- Move to potting mix when the roots get at least 2 inches long. 🍀🪴
