Are these spider plants ready to go in soil or should I wait?

i'd wait. as i saw someone else say, use the 2-2-2 rule: there should be 2 roots that are 2 inches long and have at least 2 secondary roots before moving to soil. however, it's up to your preference :)

I won’t even cut it off the mother plant until the aerial roots are 2 inches long. Then, I put it straight into soil with some rooting hormone powder.
