Zuzu, way to go! Congratulations! That first one looks like it has leaves which have a red rim to them. Which one is the first one?

The three don't look great, but how do they feel? If they are still firm, there is a chance still that they will root. If they are soft and squishy, then they are goners. Which three are those? If they are Rainbows or Reds, don't feel bad. Been there; done that. Rot can happen easily with those.

Are you misting? It wouldn't be a bad idea to mist those cuttings, especially if you are having a great deal of heat like we are down here. The one that has leaves should be watered now and regularly. If it has leaves, it has roots and needs water. You can also put it out in full sun if you are going to water it regularly. In fact, the soil looks pretty dry so I would give them all a little bit of water.

Nope! Don't do anything! No repotting -- not until next spring. No fertilizing -- not while they are rooting. You can either keep them in filtered sun/part sun and keep them dryer, or you can put them in full sun and mist them often and water them about once a week. I have my cuttings in full sun, but I water often and mist regularly.

You've done great! Congrats!

LOL, Nery! I do have an army, don't I?

Here are some of my cuttings which are rooting below. They are up on the wall.
