As long as the roots are 2-3 inches, you should be okay putting it.

Okay awesome. Good to know. Is that a good rule of thumb for most plants or this one specifically?

For most plants! :)

Another thing to note if it’s in water currently is that when you put it in soil you’ll want to water it more than you would normally because it’s so used to being in constant water. Then slowly you can water less until it gets on a normal watering schedule.
