Hello! I received this cutting from a friend and am not sure what to do next! Shall I wait until spring to toss her in dirt? What size pot should she go in?

Thanks :)

Depends on the plant for propagation. Sphagnum moss works well w/ perlite or put it in water with fertilizer and wait for lots of roots than plant.

Looking at the photo you def could plant this in 4 inch pot with tropical soil mix.

Plant in soil if roots are at least 2 inches long. No need to wait for spring since you are raising it indoors and it’s not a plant in a dormant period. Give it sufficient lighting, water and fertilizer and it will do fine. 🍀🪴

Those are pretty easy to get going. So I’d say drop it in dirt whenever there’s enough root; you don’t have to wait for spring, but you can if you want.
