The cuttings are too long if they don’t have roots or have short roots. The length of the roots can’t support the vines and leaves while trying to grow roots.

I recommend cutting the vines to contain only 2 to 3 leaf nodes:  
\- Put 2 nodes underwater after washing off all the soil off.  
\- Disinfect the cuttings and tools with hydrogen peroxide to prevent bacterial growth.  
\- Place in clean water.  
\- Fertilize with diluted liquid fertilizer and SuperThrive plant vitamins after the roots emerge  
\- Keep the water clean
