I’ve potted them when roots are 2-3 inches long and they’ve done great.

Thanks!

I’ve heard an inch of root is good enough

Yes! I usually wait until I see 2-3 inches of root and some hair roots (the little skinny frail ones) but it depends on the plant as well. Some plants can be put in soil quickly and some not. But these look great and good to go!
