Not sure if my baby Chinese money plant has enough roots to pot. Please let me know if I should or if I should wait for more roots to grow first

When I question if there is enough, I normally just wait a little longer for it to get a stronger root system

Also this root system will be support to hold your plant up so it is better to have more 🙂

Normally you want them to be about 2-3 inches for any plant for best results

I’ve potted multiple pups with roots that size and they’re always fine- add a little rooting hormone and make sure the pot is small enough.

Sometimes I add soil to the prop water to give it nutrients as well as help reduce transplant shock.
