I took cuttings from my ZZ, peperomia angulata and pothos about a month ago. I had tried propping peperomia long ago but it died after I put it in soil. It could have been because the roots were too small or the soil wasn’t correct. Don’t want to make the same mistake again. Should I put these in soil or wait some more time?

I would wait a little longer!
You want there to be a little more roots before putting I soil!

I would wait a bit longer. I keep my cutting in water until my base roots have grown roots of their own. No point rushing these things!

When propping with water best rule of thumb is to wait until your roots have roots. The third picture shows the start of this! They’ll develop more intricately and those will help establish the plant.
