Whenever u want ig but I would wait for a little more roots

### PlantLady commented on 2025-03-07

A general rule is when the roots are at least 2” or they start growing secondary roots (roots on roots)

#### Elia replied on 2025-03-07

Yes this! I always wait for roots on roots

### Fernadette commented on 2025-03-07

Thank you!

2" + long roots is my go to

When the cuttings start putting out secondary roots is always a good indicator. It looks like you just have the main root(s) right now
