So I’m propagating 4 stems off my pothos plant, they’re growing their roots now, at what point do I plant them in soil?

I typically wait for the roots to be 2-4” so they are stronger and more apt to thrive when repotted. But that’s just what I do, I’m not completely sure what the minimum should be.

Yup! And tend to keep the soil moist for the first two weeks to help the plant better acclimate to the new medium

I think the “minimum” is when the new root has second roots starting to grow on it as well, that’s what I was told, but then again, I am also not quite sure!

Yep! That’s how I do it too. Wait until your roots have roots! 😉

I wait for them to be at least 2 inches long
