This is my first time propagating - when is it ready for soil and what is the best way to transfer it?

It’s ready for soil when the roots get to be about 2 inches long. Then you can plant it like you would any other plant :)

2-3 inches long. Looks ready just keep the soil moist for the first few weeks for the transition!

Use perlite and sphagnum moss so the soil doesn’t get too thick
