Burrows Tail Babes

So I realized that I hadn't done my "new babe" post on the burrows tail succulent I got awhile ago.  It's grown quite long and I decided now might be a good time to snip some cuttings and attempt a new satellite pot! (With the hopes of handing it off to my sister one day.)

Here's a healthy tip I'm about to snip off:

Cuttings and leaf drops:

I cut the tips about 3"-4" long and rubbed off the leaves for the bottom inch. I thought about planting them right away but most articles I read online suggested I should let the cuttings air out and "callus" over.  My feeling is the cuttings would be fine and start rooting right away, seeing as many of the longer stems have roots forming just from humidity.  But for this first trial I decided to follow a pre existing convention and maybe experiment down the road.  And as I am typing this I realize I forgot to apply rooting hormones before sticking the cuttings in the soil.

Here are the cuttings and leaves in their new pot where hopefully they will sprout some roots over the next few weeks:
