Maybe add a little fertilizer to the water if you want to keep in water for longer if not probably pot it thats just an opinion

Add rooting hormone powder and put it in soil. It will root in water after several weeks with plant vitamins (SuperThrive). But, it does fine going directly into soil.

If that’s a tradescantia you can throw it in dirt right away and it’ll root just fine. They’re super chill.
