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?

Yours is a real piece of string qestion.
Some cuttings like Chrysanth and Fuchia could be rooted quite well in
3 weeks whilst othersubjects like some shrub cuttings could take 9
months or longer to root properly.
It is always a help to give as much info in your origional question
and not wait for someone to drag it out of you.
