Ich war aufgeregt, als ich sah, wie endlich eine gesunde Wurzel entstand. Aber diese Woche fällt mir auf, dass es aufgehört hat zu wachsen und gegen Ende bräunlich aussieht. Ist es Zeit, das Wasser zu verlassen?

Following because I’m in the same boat of when to take them out. I read to wait until the roots start to grow more roots but these big boys just keep getting longer.

It looks really good Id wait longer tho. I think you typically want more roots About three decent size ones id say .
You can either leave it, practically forever in the water (it’s a pothos, it’ll do just fine), or you can plant it into soil. A few plants may require longer roots, certainly the “fancier” types, but a pothos? Pothos are not only extremely willing to grow, but they are also really great for teaching newbies how to prop.
They also put off a naturally occuring rooting hormone, into the water. Soooo, if there’s something else you wish to “root”, pop it in with the pothos snip. I usually keep a snip in a jar just for these sort of rooting opportunities.
For this one, go ahead and pop into soil.
Make certain that the pot isn’t too big, remember: plants don’t like wearing big boy pants until they are ready.
Enjoy….
and congrats on your first successful rooting!!

((Standard “rule” is 2-3 inches of roots, but that really depends on the variety, etc. Delicate roots like begonia? I usually plant into soil at 1 inch. Just: a nice healthy bit to get them going.))
