Anything with root nodes should be fine

does it appear that I did it correctly?

The first two pictures look good, the only one I can’t tell with is the last one but I may just not be able to see the node (the bump found at the joint of the leaf)

Just watch for rot where you cut it. Sometimes I dip the end of my cuttings in candle wax, or activated charcoal to help prevent rot. I hate losing cuttings 🥲

would it be better to transfer to soil or I should wait for roots first?
