The Chinese evergreen I received about two months ago is still in water/plant food. I wanted the roots to get a little longer before I put in soil. Two days ago, I noticed two of the leaves tips are turning yellow/brown. What's causing it? Should I go ahead and put it in soil now? The roots length range from new nubs, to half an inch, to an inch.

syl, i would go ahead and plant it. waiting for longer roots will just prolong the transition. if you go now, the nubs can develope into "soil" roots instead of "water" roots. their structure is slightly different.

Thanks Jiffymouse! I'll do it at soon as I get home.
