Nah, never too late. I’ve kept cuttings in water for years until I had the time/room to pot them. You just eventually have to start feeding them if they’re in there for longer than a few months (don’t just use liquid fertilizer for soil, it’ll burn, use specific nutrients for cuttings)

If you do want to transfer them to dirt make sure they have strong roots that branch out first.
Someone else had said you gotta adjust them to dirt because it’ll shock them after being in water for so long

I just put a bunch of adansonii cuttings with at least a foot of roots in soil. It’s doing great! I typically wait for at least an inch of root but there’s no maximum.

My rule of thumb is when the roots have roots, I can move it from water prop to soil.
