If I cut and put in new pots, will the plant survive? Where should I chop?

Always chop under the nodes (little bumps / roots growing out of the side of the plant) make sure each cutting has a node otherwise it won’t survive , I would first put the props in water after you let the bottom callus overnight and then when it starts growing new roots put it in soil (that’s the most successful method I have used but there is others that work just a fine)
