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.
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.
Rainwater
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.
Nice and shiny! Beautiful!
I have cut my Philodendron Imperial green in three because it grew too big. And now all three are doing so good I have three big plants 😂
It's the only plant that gives new leaves this time of the year.
Such a "killer" leaf. Very nice!
Looks rather green to me 😜
It does, doesn't it 🤓
I'll have to double check if it's the right one then.
The leaf is very vigorous. I believe that seedlings should be easy to make, right?

Preferably rain or distilled water...

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.

I might have to do the same. Look at this beauty!
She's beautiful! And the plant too 😂
My biggest plant is a bit smaller (about 70 centimeter now), but it doesn't have a pole yet, so I might have to add that too.
