So impressive!!! I've never gotten a snake to root.

I understand the general rule is wait for secondary roots. But that's most commonly mentioned with philodendrons, pothos, etc so not sure that's true of succulents. Might be worth researching. Good luck!!!

Give it some more time, it might even sprout pups in the water, but you want a good root system before potting
