I put the cutting into soil about a week ago, and so far it's doing
fine.

I wicked the water away with a paper towel before putting the cutting
in the soil so that the roots would spread out instead of clinging to
the stem. For the next couple of weeks I plan to keep it on a
windowsill where it gets cool air and indirect light. I'm going to
keep the soil very moist. After that I will let the soil dry out and
introduce more direct sunlight.
