An easy method to propagate philodendron is to stick your cuttings in a clean jar of water. Make sure the nodes are fully submerged. Then place your cuttings in indirect sunlight. Change the water every few days and in a few weeks you should have new roots.

Preferably rain or distilled water...
I actually haven't tried distilled water, but I'm about to do an experiment with freezing distilled water to make some fancy ice cubes, so I'll try using it to propagate my plants too.
I always use rain water.
ChatGPT (planty) says this about tap water:
Pros: Readily available and usually safe for most plants.
Tips: Let the tap water sit out for 24 hours before use. This allows chlorine to evaporate, which can be harmful to delicate cuttings.
Watch Out: Some areas have hard water or high fluoride levels, which can affect plant health over time.
Pros: Naturally soft and full of nutrients that encourage root growth.
Collection Tip: Use a clean container to catch rain and store it in a cool, shaded spot. Avoid water that might have contaminants from dirty roofs or gutters.
So it's very simple, thanks for the instructions.
Here in my region it is raining, I think that getting some rainwater is better for the plants.
