These actually can live in water! I’d keep it in water if I were you!

I absolutely agree! You already have water roots, I would stick with something like semi hydro. I have all mine in pon and they’re much easier to take care of.

I agree with Moriah and Elizabeth, but if you’re new to hydroponics, and wanna stick with soil, I’ve seen quite a few people thoroughly soak the soil BEFORE adding the plant in, allowing it to keep more of the water it’s used to early on while allowing you to gently pop it and the roots right in without damaging them. Hope this helps!
