Hi, Kay. I've never had much luck rooting them in water, though a lot of people do. I do much better if I stick them immediately in potting mix, and cover with a humidity dome or plastic bag. That's would I'd do now with the rooted cuttings that you have. Put them in moist (but not wet) potting mix. Too much water in the mix will make them rot. Humidity helps a lot. You can use a dome if you have one or stick them in a plastic bag. Prop up the bag so it doesn't touch the leaves.

Hot direct sun might fry them while they're covered in plastic, so bright indirect window light would probably be preferable.

Good luck!

Karen
