I just took a couple babies off of my Haworthia and I’m hoping to get some roots on these little guys. Should I water them or just leave them dry in soil?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but your soil looks more like a tropical soil than cactus?  
You might want to make sure they’re in a good sandy well draining soil. Otherwise you might be shooting your self in the foot before even starting. If all you have is regularly potting mix I’d suggest getting some perlite and adding it to the soil to increase drainage.

These guys don’t like to sit in wet soil for very long.

Good luck!!

I recently did this and I put it on top of slightly moist soil. For this first step I used tropical soil and after it roots a bit more I will move it to a cactus mix :)
