Potting Up a Plant from a Cutting Rooted in Water

Cutting
Pot
Commercial potting soil
Coffee filter or paper towel, dampened
Clippers
Water
Hand trowel

Clip off any roots that won't fit in the pot. Be ruthless. Using a clean pot (5% bleach solution, soaked 10 minutes, then rinsed), cover the pot's drainage holes inside with the dampened paper. Add some potting soil. Place the cutting in the pot so that the final level of soil will match where the plant's natural soil level would be. Add soil. Press down with fingers to compact. Add more soil.
Place pot in container or sink. Add water slowly to container until level of water is higher than pot's soil. Allow to soak a few minutes. Drain. Add more soil if settled soil level is lower than desired. Go through soaking again to moisten new soil. Allow to drain thoroughly.

Place pot in similar light conditions as the rooted cutting had. Increase sunlight over the next few weeks. Put outside in shade when temperature warms up to match the plant's natural growing temperatures. Slowly move pot over a few days into more light until it is in the amount of light it naturally grows in.
