I just detached some aloe pups from their parents and would like to know whether I should propogate in water first until I see roots or put directly in soil after they callus?

Depending on the size/maturity of the pup you can just repot in a 2-3” well drained pot with cactus soil. Giving the pup a little more water from time to time and it should root with 12+ hrs of light a day. Happy Planting!
