| You can leave it on the plant until the roots get 3 or 4" long, but take it off the mother plant before the roots get so long they will not fit in a modest sized pot. Most Phals are over potted (pot too big), and a small roots system should really have a small pot so that it can dry out in a reasonable length of time, with the help of the roots sucking up the water.
