I just mist both cuttings and soil well, but not dripping, for the first couple of months. If rootings have begun to take hold, I begin watering lightly on a weekly basis but keep on misting every couple days. Cuttings hold enough moisture to get through the rooting period fine.

Remember, they are of the cactus family I put in a misting watering system that takes care of this for me daily in my greenhouse. The whole system cost around $50. with postage on line.
I do most of my rooting during the warm months and only chance "breaks during winter.
