# I’ve been propagating some philodendrons and the roots are coming…

_Posted by Jaime on 2024-10-06_

I’ve been propagating some philodendrons and the roots are coming out! Is now a good time to pot them or should I wait longer?? What’s the goal root length/system?

Thank you!

I’m a wait until the main roots start growing secondary roots kinda gal. You can go as early as 2” root growth!

So if it were me I’d wait a bit longer

I’ve definitely potted at this point when I’m really excited and just can’t wait but I try to wait until I have secondary roots :)
