About me: good plant dad, just new to propping. I live in zone 8A, a mile off the beach and the above window is facing NW.
I was curious to know if I should move these to dirt, a bigger station, something else, or just keep them there until the spring. We’re moving into cooler weather and I don’t want shock or hurt the plants. They were all brought home (minus the Diffenbachia; squirrel broke that off and I threw it in a decanter) in May from a prop trade. All have new growth in there vials and are doing really well. All I have done is changed the water every few days. A few of them have roots coming out and that’s what’s making me worried. I forgot the names of the plants in the vials, but will add them on my plant app.
Thanks in advance. And sorry for the long message.

I would definitely wait on moving them to soil. It’s funny how we can kill plants by overwatering but somehow they are able to thrive fully underwater – this is where propagating can be tricky. Moving to soil can be shocking to the plant, especially during colder months. If I were you I would give the cuttings some more space in a larger glass and let their roots thrive until next spring! You’d be surprised what will grow in the water 🙂
She’s lovely! They can live in water for quite awhile so just let her do her thing. Maybe throw in some liquid fertilizer when roots are more developed
