Thank you for your help Dutch,
I have moved them now all in the shade on the porch under the eve. They will still get plenty of light just no direct sun.

Yes the sticks are cuttings. 2 of them I brought back from the exchange at Hale Koa in Honolulu. One of those cuttings has two nice leaves growing.
Then I bought 4 more on Amazon from Hawaii and things that I believe come from Maui. Those were doing ok I guess until the temps went from 90 to 100+. I see the tips look like they are burnt to a crisp. But only 1 looks like that as they others just look sun burnt. I also have a plastic saucer with rock in them for the cuttings. The water in them does not reach the pot at all. Read that it creates humidity for the plant.

I moved the rocks away from the trunks and it seems the soil is still moist on top from the ones I repotted. I figure they should be at least semi dry after two days of 100+ temps.

Would it hurt to repot the ones I bought from Home Depot and use the rock I have on top and put in the bottom of the pot as DrDawg mentioned?

PS: I did use "Mircle-Gro water soluble Bloom Booster" to water the plants that I repotted from Home depot. They were extremely dry to the point I had to mist the soil with a spray bottle to keep soil in tack when I repotted them. I read/researched (again I know it was probable old news) that they love 10-50-10 ratio plant food.

I also saw that a lot of people recommend cactus soil mix
