Sprouting philodendron

This is the philodendron I took cuttings from in the fall. Unfortunately, none of the cuttings formed roots. I recently took them out of their pots, where the stems were rotting off somewhat, and put them in a jar with water. Perhaps they will want to root there, considering that spring is appraoaching and spring is supposed to be the best time for rooting philos. The mother plant, however, is sprouting healthy buds - one on each stem - from both its stems right below where I cut their tops off to propagate it.

The pics are a bit blurry because the bright sun I enjoyed this morning is already gone..
