I recently transplanted this vine and it seems to be struggling. This one had roots to start with, so should I put it in water first for a few days or straight into soil?
From what I have read, it does not need too much water and in fact should not be overwatered. I also saw that it does not prefer direct sunlight. The yellow on the leaves closer to the roots can mean overwatered but yellow in all leaves can mean malnourished. I pur it in new “moisture control” potting soil.
The burnt leaves can mean too much direct sunlight, so I moved it to a bookshelf away from the window, but that didnt seem like enough light.
I’m kind of at a loss here. Do I need to do something different or just give it time to heal from transplanting? Any insight is appreciated.
Yes, I definitely think it's worth saving each section (I have a problem, and the problem is not enough plants). Those couple of shorter sections should be just fine for the few days it will take for them to begin rooting.
As for blue and purple together: I don't recommend removing the topmost leaf or bud (also called an apical bud) because they help to regulate the growth hormones of the plant and will have a stronger growth response than leaves or buds further down. Cutting a leaf as pictured below will preserve that hormone regulator but give the plant less to maintain while new roots are forming.
