Currently, I am trying to grow a pineapple from a store-bought pineapple, and after four attempts, this one has begun to grow decent roots. When should I take it out of the water and plant it in succulent soil?

I’ve always been told to wait for secondary roots to form, then it’s ready for soil…

2-3 inches long is good to wait for too (secondary roots should be there by then)

I’m currently at the same point with my Hoya cutting, Gwen! She’s been bathing for a bit more than a month and 💥boom! Just noticed these yesterday…

Should I wait for the small roots to grow longer before moving it?

Here’s Gwen now that her secondaries are big enough. She’s been in this setup for about a week now!
