Nicely done!

I can't see what kind of insect is in the jar but
some small green insects love munching on
baby leaves. I would be tempted to move the
insect out.

More cuttings are better than fewer, because
some cuttings won't survive past the first
few leaves. OTOH if all your cuttings
survive you have to find places to plant them.

You probably won't want to plant the cuttings
into their permanent home (in ground or in
pot) until spring so you have plenty of time
to baby them along.

Good luck.
