I usually give my cuttings a slight tug. If there is resistance, odds are
good they have rooted and can be potted up. If you started them under mist,
it can help to put them back for 2-3 days to be sure the roots are
functioning. I highly recommend using mycorrhizal fungi in the soil to help
the roots, too. (see my site for a link to a company that sells the fungi)
