When is the Hyperutufa ready to cure?

How long does the Hypertufa need to dry before it can be cured I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Its probably right in front of my face but cant see it. Any help would be grateful as I am a new beginner.

The pieces just need to be hard when you immerse them (or spray them with water and cover them).

There are no real rules with it, just as long as you are patient and don't try to plant them or handle them too soon, depending on the piece.

Having said that, some people plant almost immediately and claim that they have never had a loss. So, it's all trial and error.
