# I’m new to the propagating world. These Philodendron Brasil props…

_Posted by Paz on 2025-11-10_

I’m new to the propagating world. These Philodendron Brasil props have been in water for a few months. Are their roots strong enough to go to soil or do they need more? From left to right, the second to left only has one small root so that one will stay in water regardless for now

I think a good rule of thumb I’ve heard is 2” of roots is a good start!

These all look great besides the one you already mentioned getting back in water.

I prefer to wait for secondary roots before potting
