Default How to tell if a cutting has taken?

How can one tell if a cutting has rooted?

I've left half-a-dozen cuttings for about 3 weeks
in a Lidl set of 6 covered and warmed containers.
The leaves all look healthy.
Should I transfer them to pots?


Leave well alone until roots poke out the bottom or the top growth is
starting to get too big - whichever happens first.

Most plants resent root disturbance to some extent.
