First time propagating a Pink Princess Philodendron. I’m wondering if these roots are ready to be potted into soil?

Maybe ! But I would leave it in for a bit longer

### Angelica commented on 2025-07-01

I’d wait some more, when they’re a couple inches or so.

#### PlantLovingGirlie replied on 2025-07-01

I will wait then. Thank you!

2/2/2 rule! 2 roots at least 2 inches with at least 2 secondary roots

#### PlantLovingGirlie replied on 2025-07-01

I’ve heard of that rule before but it confuses me because I see a lot of roots lol. Are the secondary roots the ones towards the bottom?

#### Jneyman replied on 2025-07-01

Secondary roots are the tiny tiny ones that grow of the bigger main roots.they don’t need to also be 2in but there enough to ensure the roots will have enough surface after in the soil when the get planted.

Thank you so much that was incredibly helpful! I am definitely going to wait another week or until they grow a bit more before moving to soil

How long did this take you!! I have a huge blushing philodendron that I’ll need to propagate in the next year or so

#### PlantLovingGirlie replied on 2025-07-02

Just about three weeks! I’m pleasantly surprised with how fast it’s grown
