I agree, Philodendron, not Ficus and it appears to be a climbing type of Philo. You could give it a trellis or moss pole to climb but you should be able to easily root cuttings also. I never have luck acclimating cuttings with water-roots to soil; water seems to produce thin, watery roots and when I go to pot them up in soil, they always seem to struggle as they try to establish a stronger root system ... but many folks do have success with rooting cuttings in water.
If it were me, I'd cut the stem at the level where the green twist tie is, remove the lower leaves from the cut stem and stick the stem/stalk into a well draining potting medium. Keep the soil just moist but not soaking wet, give it bright light but no direct sun and keep it in a warm and humid area. I'm not sure this is the best time of year to propagate cuttings; with our humid climate here in Florida I've rooted cuttings in fall and winter but I've heard folks in other parts of the country say that the best time is spring.
For comparison:
Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica)
Blushing Philodendron (Philodendron erubescens)
