Hi! I accidentally plucked this node off my false shamrock. Figured I'd try to propagate it. Now it has a couple roots! But I'm not sure what to do next.. do I wait till there's more roots/longer? I was hoping to give it to a friend who's flying down at the end of the month but sounds like he can't travel with it if it's in soil.

You can leave it in water until it's roots are longer. Not sure about how to travel with it, maybe wrap the roots in a wet paper towel and put it in a ziplock bag?
