Took these cuttings from an abandoned plant in my workplace… can I pot them? Theyve been in water for 2 days now.

OOOO I’d love to hear the advice on this one!

personally I’d wait a few more days to see how well the roots grow in the water. If they have sprouted and grown that fast in two days I’m sure it would be awesome to watch them continue so vigorously

I agree I would wait just to be sure
