I’m propagating my first spider plant in water - any tips? How do I know when it is ready to transfer to soil?

They propagate super easily in water!! Just make sure the node is actually submerged. I like waiting until secondary roots form, but I’ve had little pups grow successfully without!

Yes, per Brad comments once you see enough roots you can then transfer it to soil. Be mindful it may go through a little shock from the environment change but it will be fine. She went from water to 4 pot growths and look at her now
