: Also, do I need to wait until the

: Thanks again! If pictures would

If it was me, I would wait till it has a good mass of roots. You could plant it now and would probably be alright, but if it only has a few roots and in the tansplant get broken in any way, you didn't do yourself a favor. Now that it has some roots, it will grow many more roots much faster, so it is worth the wait. It shouldn't take more than another few months now.
