Cuttings of succulent plants usually root rather quickly.

Time of day and handling may be important for rooting woody cuttings
(Rhododendrons?) but it does not apply here. Rooting hormones are not
necessary either.

You don't need to pull them up to see if they rooted either. When they are
well rooted, they will put out new growth all by themselves.

Since you potted the cuttings individually, you don't need to worry about
the roots getting tangled with the others.

More important factors to consider are warm temperatures and not over
watering.

This varies because of many thing including the time of day the cuttings
were taken and how they were handled after they were cut. The standard
procedure is to tug on one or two every week and see if there is any
resistance which indicates it is rooting. Wait until you get a good
root mass before transplanting. You don't need a large root mass, just
a lot of very small short roots. You don't want the roots to get
tangled with their neighbors roots.
