I’m not an expert. I’ve just started growing plants again in the last six months. when I was a kid, though my mother was the plant EXPERT of the neighborhood, and I always had cuttings growing. I would’ve waited until there were a lot more roots. It’s doing fine in the water and it might not do fine if you put it in dirt too quickly. But if someone else has more experience with that kind of plant, I would listen to them!

wait until your roots have roots, or 8weeks after you first see roots sprout.
