Hello Deb. Not knowing your climate, I would just pot the pieces into what ever you have handy. I usually put my cuttings into a well draining seed raising mix. I have put them in straight ordinary potting mix. I would not put into any plastic as they can rot easily if too damp. It can be hard , buying from eBay , when you don't see exactly what you are getting, but they should grow anyway. . I keep all my zygos, ( Christmas cacti, Easter cacti etc ) in a shadehouse year round . We have temps down to around 4C in winter. These cacti like that cold spell.
Here's a quick pick of some of mine. Not a good pic, but it's overcast here this morning. You can see some of the cuttings down on the floor. . If you are lucky enough to have a sheltered place, by all means keep your new babies there. Hope this helps a bit. Jean.
