I took these clippings in mid January from my mature Zz plant. Looking for advice on whether they’re ready to plant?

I personally would wait for more roots but that is just what I would do, not based on any kind of professional opinion. That’s awesome by the way!

Would wait until the roots are a bit longer I would imagine though you could put these into soil and just do lighter watering more often (water so only the top of the soil gets wet)

Well they’re pretty low maintenance right now so I’m fine waiting a bit longer to plant them! 😊

Love your reasoning

I would wait until they are at least 2-3 in long
