Hi! I have some hairy stemmed rhipsalis cuttings(?) that I've been keeping just in water since December. They have been doing well with root and stem growth, but I figure it's about time to give them a more permanent home. Going from water like this, what are some good options?

Thanks!

I like to wait until the roots are are about 4-6 inches for my plants

But then what? Leca? Soil? I was thinking maybe that leca would encourage stronger roots in the meantime?
