Hello everyone, I’ve got this plant from a friend of mine. It’s in distilled water right now. How long should I have it there before putting in a pot with dirt? It’s got many pups growing. Thank you.

It looks like my silver inch plant. I’ve propagated it and put it straight in soil and also put it in water to let it root first. Both propagations did great!

Awesome, thank you 🙏🏼

It’s ready to go into soil. Add rooting hormone to help the roots grow faster in soil.

I think once the roots are an inch long you can plant propagations in soil. That’s the rule I’ve heard before

Thanks a lot, everyone.
