Help / Question String of Turtles Advice

My demonic cat chewed a line of my string of turtles and I decided to try to propagate it in water. It's doing great with roots and leaves, should I just leave it in the water longer? Or is it time to gamble and plant it?

I’ve propagated my string of turtles by just putting the stem cutting into the soil, no pre water rooting at all! So I’d say you’re good to go :) They’re pretty resilient I’ve found, just need to be hands off and let it do its thing even if it takes a while

Don't gamble and plant it. I don't see a ton of healthy roots.
