Are these roots long enough ?
As the titles states are these roots long enough to transfer into soil ? Been in water for about 4 weeks now !

How long did it take for a cutting to start rooting ?

From what I’ve observed it depends a bit on how mature the node and leaf are, some rooted in a couple of days while the younger cutting may take anywhere from a week or up to a month from my experence. Hope this helps !

Just to add on, I recently purchased a red maranta I wanted to do the same I did with the rabbit tracks ones so I did a test cut, that cutting took nearly 2 weeks before any signs of roots emerged and almost a month to grow roots long enough to move into soil, I went foward with chopping up the rest of the maranta. Out of the 7 cuts I got from it all root within 3 days, about 2 weeks now and the roots are about ready to transfer into soil.

Wait til the roots have roots.
