roots should be at least 2-4 inches long in my opinion

how exciting! i see the main root has little legs on it, wait until the legs on that root are longer (like what caitlin said) and then you should be good to pot it. & it’s used to a lot of water so it’ll require sort of frequent watering at first. it looks great!! have fun!!

Follow the instructions on the other comments about the roots, but I’m going to tell you my secret so when it gets transplanted doesn’t come into shock. Ad a spoon of the same dirt you’re going to use at least a week before you transfer it to a pot, that way you adapt the plant to the dirt making it easier to transfer.

  that just feels polite — a pot *is* a very long-term relationship!

My rule of thumb is propagations can be potted when secondary roots form (roots growing from roots)
