Hi Rebecca. You and put each leaf directly in a cactus soil mix. Allow the tips to callous over before you place them in the soil. Place them in a sunny location( not direct sunlight )  
Remember to keep the soil moist not wet. Good luck! 😁

I leave my out on cactus soil to let the ends callous then mist them.

Same as Jenna. I like to leave them out and let them callous and grow some roots before planting. After they callous , I mist them every few days and let them grow roots before planting
