Too soon for soil?

I just got these Florida Ghost Mint cuttings/babies in spagnum moss and just curious if I should put them in soil or wait a little bit longer. Iโ€™m just afraid of the moss drying out quicker and forgetting to water them. Would it be better to put them in soil or wait a few more days? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #philodendron #philodendronfloridaghost #floridaghost #planthelp #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation

@kmaytender Hey! ๐ŸŒฑ Totally get the moss dilemma โ€“ it can be a thirsty situation. If you're worried about the drying-out game, you could totally pot those Florida Ghost Mint cuties into soil. It'll give them a more stable moisture vibe.

But if you're cool with keeping an eye on the moss and giving them spritzes to stay moist, you can hold off for a few more days. Either way, these mint babies will appreciate your care. Trust your plant instincts, and you'll nail it! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ง
@JungleDreamer thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐ŸŒฟ
Spagnum Moss doesn't dry out that quick, @kmaytender ... I grow many cuttings with it. Just soak your moss really well as You would do with WATERing and when it is dry, it is time for more water. Spagnum Moss is a growing medium just as soil is. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ


Florida Ghosts grow into beautiful spectacles, those colors are aaaaawesome. ๐Ÿ˜

๐ŸŒฟ Good Luck! ๐ŸŒฟ
My suggestion would be to keep them where they are for as long as you can. That way they can acclimate and when they are bigger, you can move them to soil. (: I'm glad you found Greg!
I would either keep them in the moss so they get stronger before soil like @sarahsalith said, or move them to a water prop station. keeping them in water will help you not forget to water them! Just change the water frequently so they stay healthy ๐Ÿ˜Š
