More roots…put it in soil!

this isn't ready to go in soil yet. those buds are very fragile and will break or be damaged if it's planted at this stage

I respectfully disagree…those are primordial roots and aren’t optimal for soil planting. They grow those in water but would be replaced by real lateral roots once in soil. The longer they spend in water the longer they stay in water the more fragile the root system becomes when finally moving to soil.
