Propagating this little inch plant. Assuming these roots aren’t supposed to be brown??? The white one looks healthy… what am I doing wrong? :)

    That’s normal. Some of the early roots will turn brown when you’re propagating in water.

      Thank you so much! When do you think I should move him to soil?

    I’d wait until it has a good amount of healthy roots before trying to put it in soil. I usually leave my props in water for 30-60 days before trying to transplant into soil.

    Yeah mine always turn brown after a bit, I guess it’s just not well suited to water.
