Barbados Cherry Cuttings

I trimed my barbados cherry, weaping variety, about a month ago. I wound up with two four-five inch cuttings. I put some rooting hormone on the cuttings and placed them in water with a drop of Superthrive and drop of fertilizer. The cuttings have begun to produce roots. Right now, the roots are three and four in number and fairly short. Does anyone have advice on when to move these cuttings into seedling containers?

Here in the tropics Barbados Cherry springs easily from a cutting if you just root them in wet sand.

You might want to let the roots develop a little more and them move them to a sandy medium as a intermediate stage to growing in a pot propper.

Once you aren't too rough with the roots they should survive.

it's worth a shot.
