My avocado tree is about 4" tall now with big bright green leaves. It is still suspended in water. I've read that I should wait for my seedling to reach 6" in height, cut the leaves off, wait for them to grow back, and then plant it in soil. I don't see it gaining height any more, what should I do?

Should I go ahead and plant it in some potting soil?

Also, my tree looks like there are two trees coming from one pit. Is this normal?
