Don’t put this into water. It’s too risky and might rot.
Grab some sphagnum moss and place into a glass jar, keep the moss moist but not wet.
It will grow healthier roots this way than it will in water.

It looks very similar with the albo cutting I got in Jan! I did put it in water (along with two pothos cuttings) and kept it there until it grew a bunch of secondary roots 2.5 – 3 months later. Potted it and it’s produced three new leaves since!
I think you can try water-propping this or sphagnum moss propping after it’s dried out for a few hours post-cut. I personally have had better success with water propping because it’s easier to watch and make sure it’s not rotting slowly in there.
Recently I’ve been water-propping a Philo Prince of Orange cutting in water with its air roots in the water and it’s doing great. I’m not soaking it in a ton of water though, just enough to get the roots at the bottom wet.

You can seal cut ends in candle wax. I did that for my pink princess cuttings and no end rot!
