Absolutely, put it in dirt. If you have roots and leaves just pot it up. They're so pretty and really not very picky. I've had a couple of them and really enjoyed them.
Reply:I can't see why you *wouldn't* put it in a pot of dirt if you're growing it for looks. I would certainly think that you'd get a healthier and sturdier plant that way. I just found a forgotten and rather grungy sprouted sweet potato in my cabinet a few days ago, so I'm growing one too :-)
Reply:Water sprouted cuttings can be put in soil as soon as you see roots. Or just leave it in water, some things grow happily in just water for years.
