No need to for rooting hormone it can take a while .. cut this into two different props at the circled mark .. leave them out to allow the new cut to callous to help avoid rotting the stem then stick them back in water .. dont completely change water unless it gets yucky instead just top off.. it took for me about 2 months before seeing roots on my cuttings now they are throwing me new leafs even in the water .. also if they do throw you new leaves they are fine to grow under water
Mine took a month before any root growth, I bet it just needs to be in the water longer especially if there are only a few root spots, you could try putting it in some sunlight by a window might encourage some more growth, or more cuttings in the water

On your 2nd one id cut to leave on one or two nodes and with the other leafless stems if they have nodes just throw them in the water as well .. i see people prop “wetsticks” in moss or perlite but for me these just rot .. i threw mine in with the rest of my props and this is it now

Wait until the roots can feasibly support the plant in soil by itself. Good luck!
Make sure it’s in a warm enough spot. Won’t root if it’s below 65° F.
