I usually wait for pups to develop roots, before I remove them from mommy plant. No roots, no means to get moisture for it, except through the leaves, so it is easy to put the plant in a too soaked media, which it does not need to be in.

They are not succulents that have moisture stored in its leaves. But you can root them first in water as Gita suggested.

Those temps and humidity levels you have are quite good for it Steve, my Spiders love those temps and condition..but got to have good formed roots, so it will thrive better. After Spring my growing environment here goes so dry, and they thrive here, just making sure they are in part sun/part shade so they don't get too toasted by our direct sun, and gets at least one day of thorough watering every week, or twice a week if it is heading to heat wave levels. Younger plants, of course would need a bit more babying, but always better with roots formed.
