Once you have made the cut . Set the cutting is dry place to let the callous (where the stem area where you cut heals over ) you can usually see / feel that it has gone hard , you can then pot up your little offset the cutting should have a bit of stem that will sit in the soil . Now at this point people take different approaches . Some give a little water to encourage new root growth . Others wait until roots are formed before they add any water . You can check a cutting is rooting by gently pushing up on one of the base leaves , if the whole plant flexes , there are no roots . You will feel resistance as the cutting starts to root . At the early stages you do not need to be drowning the soil there are no roots to take up the water and a very wet soil causes succulents to rot . The pot should have drain holes and the soil should be gritty and fast draining for the best chance of success . When you are ready to do it check back in and we can talk you through it. echies are not hard to root . Better to do it in the growing season 👍
