Yes, absolutely. There is no need to let roots grow long or grow secondary roots before planting. Roots grown in water are adapted for water, so letting a lot of water roots grow doesn’t help the plant when it’s in soil. Let the plant grow the rest of it’s where it’s going to live its life – in the soil. Keep the soil damp for the first week or so, then treat it as you would a regular plant grown in soil.

me personally, yes i’d put it in soil. keep the soil very moist for the first week or two. others will probably say wait until it has more roots but i like to give the roots a chance to transition to soil roots early on to avoid melt.

It looks like they’re long enough to keep it alive in soil. It may not be enough to support the top heavy plant. I prefer to let roots get a few inches longer to help physically support the weight of the cutting

Just curious. What kind of plant is it?
