Thanks guys! When you say roots do you mean actual roots or this sprout thingy!? Will any roots grow from this cutting? Thanks!

Definitely keep it in the water until it has more roots and the big roots grow secondary roots. It can take months.

Plant it after it reaches 2 inches long. Add SuperThrive to the water to boost root growth. Add rooting hormone powder to the potting mix when it’s time to plant it. I’ve had success using both. Good luck 🍀🪴
