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

thank you. i was just happy to see ANY, so didn’t want to rush.

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)
