I’m working on propagating the spider plants in water. Eventually I would like to plant them in soil. How long should I let the roots go like this?

I would plant when you see new growth on leaves and roots.

### Chance reageerde op 2023-06-30

Those look good! You need about 2-3 inches of root before planting in soil

Try to wait till you have secondary roots (roots growing off of the larger main roots) the one on the left looks like it may have some

Thank you guys so much! I’m going to let them get just a little bigger for the next week or so and then get them in some small pots :)
