Are my props ready to be moved to the soil? They have been doing great in water for a few weeks now but would love to see them get bigger. Always nervous about moving from water to soil

I think so but I would ween them of water when you put them in soil what are the plants and they look healthy

Wow the ivy looks awesome if that’s what that is!!! How did you get roots like that???? I’ve waited so long and my ivy hasn’t done anything 😭

#### kaitlyn12 replied on 2025-07-30

lots and lots of water changes 😂 she gets dirty so fast

#### Britt Brat replied on 2025-07-30

Okay! How long would you say you’ve been propagating it?? Mines a golden child ivy.

Yes, 2" roots, ideally with secondary root branching is my go to. Water them well the first few weeks so they don't shock
