# Hey guys just a quick question; How long do water propagated monstera…

Hey guys just a quick question; How long do water propagated monstera albo roots need to be before you can plant them in a chunky soil?  
The roots are the same length as I normally let my normal monsteras grow too, so feels right for timings but unsure?

I’d assume the root lengths would need to be about the same as any normal plant before planting in soil (At least 2 inches as well as having secondary roots ideally)!

For plants I’m a little more concerned with, I always wait for a good amount of secondary roots to form.

I think you’re better safe than sorry to wait. More roots will never hurt!
