I've had this jade prop rooting in water for ever.. is she ready to plant yet? What else can I do to get more roots?

Jade succulent or Jade pothos? I can't be completely sure from your picture but it looks more like a vine from a pothos. If it's a pothos, it's definitely not ready. If it's a Jade succulent, I've only ever rooted directly into soil. I've never tried water propagation with one.

I would personally cut under the node underneath the one that has roots sprouting and then plant both directly into soil the soil. Again, I'm no expert but I've propagated my jade quite a few times. Maybe wait for more comments on the topic but that's my opinion.

1 likeIf the part that was in the water seems a little soft I would cut that part off, let it callus for a couple days, apply rooting hormone and planted in soil. If it's a long stem you could probably make a couple sections out of it just make sure you know which way is up.
