    I would give it much more time before planting. Here are some good rules of thumb i find helpful for propagation: 1. Propagate until you see secondary roots, which is when the roots start branching 2. Allow the root system to grow until it roughly matches the size of the propagated tissue. Doesn't have to be exact, but the root system needs to be big enough to support the plant in soil. 3. Err on the side of caution - if you aren't sure if the propagation is ready to plant, keep waiting. There's no harm in continuing to propagate, but if you plant too early before there is a sufficient root system then you risk killing the plant or having to start over and re-propagate.
