The first ones weren't disturbed. They just sat there. It was very hot, but I kept them in a cool spot. Possibly just too hot? I've not tried but three and one of those looked good and might have been growing, but I gave it to someone and I don't know how it did. I'm assuming they don't need burying very deep and don't need to be kept to damp? I sort of handled them like most other succulents. Much of the time those will root and grow, but not always.
