Currently propping these pothos cuttings in water. It’s been about 2 weeks. Do they look ready to plant in soil? I’m not seeing any secondary roots yet. How important are secondary roots for potting?

I’d wait….you want the roots at least 2-4” long. And if you can wait for second roots to form even better! Secondary roots aren’t mandatory before repotting, but it’ll give your plant a much easier transition to soil.
