Trying to Propagate this white knight or wizard philodendron after it broke off/ it’s in water now, but how long do I wait until putting it in soil?

I would wait until the cutting has 2 inches of roots and secondary roots. I have a pink princess propagating in water right now and it’s sooooo slow

I agree with this. I have a white wizard propogating in fluval since mid february, and its just now getting the tiniest signs of new growth. They can be very slow.
