how should i check if my clone has rooted?

its in a red solo cup 1/3rd filled with coco fiber (for seed starting) and inside a zip loc bag and has not been treated with root hormone. its been 12 days since its been cut (accidentally broken actually lol) and it has a bit of new growth. since its in a red cup i cant exactly see if its rooted or not... should i just (gently) pull it out, or cut the cup away or something? what if its not rooted, will it die because i removed it from soil?

ive never cloned before and wasnt even intending too so this is all pretty new to me.

i just tipped the cup and sure enough just as i thought theres several roots of a fairly decent size growing but not enough to hold the soil together so my next question is how big of a root ball does a clone need to be transplanted in soil?

transplant when it out grows the cup u will kno when to transfer...if u need a time when u see roots out the holes on the bottom of the cup...

When you see your roots go past your medium then it is root bound requiring transplant.

You can plant into soil now, if you wish. cn

Im gonna wait a few more days for the root system to get better established before transplanting. thanks for everyones input!
