Default Chrysanthemum cut flowers have taken root!

I have a vase full of shop bought chrysanthemum flowers that have decided to sprout roots! I noticed the roots about two weeks ago and have just kept freshening the water. The flower stems are about a foot long. Has anyone any advice about how/when I should plant them? Do I pot them up and keep them indoors or can they go outdoors at this stage? Thanks!

HI Blue flower

Pot the cuttings and cut them back to 4 layers of leaves. Feed with 10
50 10 and keep in a bright window or grow lites.

Let me know how it goes.
