    Those roots look great. But it’s hard to tell how long they are from the picture . I usually wait for my roots to be around 2” before I transplant to soil. Basically, 2” on all my props.

    i’ve had success with little pots and smaller roots than yours so i would say yes :)

    just be sure to keep it on the more watered side until it’s completely used to being in the soil!

    I always wait to transfer until I have 2-3 new leaves growing in. Before transferring to soil I start mixing a spoonful of potting soil into the water in order for the roots to acclimate to a darker substrate. This also helps introduce nutrients. You can also do none of the above and pot it up with only a little rooting hormone but you may be dealing with transfer shock a little longer. Your propagation is beautiful and I wish I had the lighting to grow basil indoors 😌!

    How do you guys prop basil in water? I’ve tried several times with no luck at all.

      It took about a week before any roots started to show
