I have 2 boston ivies in my garden. One is in full shade (doing great) and one is in full sun (looks stressed). They are starting to leaf out. It's hard to say if your cuttings will survive. Keep them damp and give them a little more time. They will go completely limp and dry up if they are dead. I think you will be lucky to have them do well in southern California, it could easily be too hot and dry, especially on a block wall, for them. Mine have grown very slowly, I'm sure it's the weather, they probably do best with more humidity. They are however a gorgeous plant and we have enjoyed the way they change color. Good luck with it, never know, it could work and if so it would be lovely.
Pictures are from 2010, they've filled in completely.
