Photo of Hibiscus Propagation

Here is a photo of my hibiscus (rosa sinensus 'I think'). While giving it a haircut last summer I discovered that I snipped off a couple branches with buds. I stuck them in water to see if the flowers would open. Well they did open and then they budded and bloomed some more (with tiny hibiscus flowers, it was so cute) and now many months later they finally rooted!

Here's my question. How do you transition from a water-rooted plant to the soil? I've kind of gotten attached to the little guys after so long, and I don't want to kill them now.

Thanks a bunch, Christina
