Can you please tell me more about the 2/2/2 rule?

2 roots that are 2 inches and 2 secondary roots. I think, anyone correct me if I’m wrong.

hi! i just transferred my props to soil and was wondering if you had any advice on keeping them alive and not causing transplant shock!

This is my first time too! I would just say keep the soil a little more wet than normal (watering a little bit more often) because it is used to water.
