Does my ZZ prop’s roots look big enough for me to transfer her to soil yet? I’m kinda new to propagating and I want to make sure she survives. Thanks!

Wow! 🤩 they look amazing. How long did that take?!  
I don’t know about the transfer; I usually do the rule of pinky-length

Thanks! I think it’s been about 3 months

I would wait until they are at least two inches. They look great so far!! Good job!

### Elizabeth commented on 2024-07-31

Make sure the roots will fit through the bottle neck

#### Shrooms111 replied on 2024-08-01

They still can so far but I should probably transfer it to another container haha

I pot my stuff once the roots are about rhat size or even shorter because I’m impatient 😂 i haven’t had trouble so far .

yes!! nicely done — rhizomes and all!! a bit phallic 😅 i’ll say it. but i’d say these are ready to go!
