Too soon? Curious if these babies are ready for some soil or if they need more time in water. Also - any potting tips would be appreciated- first time ever propagating. Thanks friends 🙏

Wait until there are roots coming off of the roots! (They’re called secondary roots) Going from water to soil can be a difficult transition for some plants so I would wait until the root system is a bit more developed.

The only other tip I have is to change out the water 1-2 times per week :)

Anya you are so quick to respond to all my silly plant questions. I truly appreciate the feedback and will listen to your advise and wait.

Any secrets to get these jokers to grow best when planted?

Just make sure you keep the soil moist for the first few weeks! After that, you can allow the soil to dry out a little more between waterings. Don’t be alarmed when you see your plant shocked and drooping for a little while.
