You could do either. She is ready for a pot I think, based on the roots having tiny branches coming off of them. Largely up to you.

thank you!

Yep

It’s technically ready for a pot as it’s got those secondary roots, but I’d personally wait until the secondary roots develop at least 2x longer than current length to ensure the plant can intake enough water during the change to soil

thank you! i think i'll definitely wait a little longer

Did you cut the propagation yourself? I have a couple that could benefit from a chop but I’m scared. Do you have a picture of the mother plant?

#### Eden replied on 2026-08-25

truthfully, i was repotting the mother plant and it broke off so i propagated instead of throwing it away so i didn't actually cut it myself but i do have it growing another pup that i want to try and propagate when it grows a little more
