I put this cutting in water less than a week ago! Is she ready to transfer to soil?

Personally, I like to let my props get good and thick in the roots before transferring to soil. Water-grown roots are less firm than soil-grown and are more susceptible to breaking during the move-in process. It’ll probably survive, but I would give it another week.

Or more, the roots you see really need to have roots growing off those.

Thank you for the tips! I’ll give her some more time 🙂
