I had them outside for a little bit, on my stoop which faces South. But I was a little weary of all that exposure and wasn't sure if the little sprouts would take well to a blasting of sun 16 hours a day, so I moved them up to an East facing window sill, which gets pretty strong sun from about 5:30 or 6 till about noon.
Additionally, my sedum clippings appear to be sprouting some new growth as well! You may recall a post back in May where I showed some sprouts that I removed from the "mother trunk" and some "leaves" that I plucked from the trunk, in an attempt to propagate. I believe all of the sprouts have taken root, because when I tug on them, I either pull too hard and hear roots tearing, or I get enough resistance that I stop tugging!
Because these cuts are in a tiny terracotta pot, I try to water it every morning or every evening. It seems that succulents root better during propagation attempts when they are kept on or near consistently moist soil.
