# After 1 .5 weeks submerging the aerial roots in water more have…

_Posted by Erin on 2026-03-16_

After 1 .5 weeks submerging the aerial roots in water more have grown!!! I can’t believe how fast they sprouted in this short time period.  
What should my next step be? Wait for them to sprout more roots? Is it time to put the monstara back in soil ?  
There is only 1 leaf now.. I just Couldn’t save the other one unfortunately.

I usually wait for secondary roots before transplanting. that's super fast by the way, omg??? what's your secret!!

Wow a week and a half week?!! That is so fast. I would wait a little longer though. Then pot it in chuncky soil and keep moist for a few weeks since its used to being in water ...
