they will likely reroot if you let them callous for a few days / weeks (depending on your local humidity) and replant them later in a loose, airy, and well-draining soil mixture

That’s great, thank you !!

You also could propagate in water if you wanted to be able to monitor the root growth. But as the other person said, you absolutely have to let it callus over for a week at least. And if you water prop make sure your water stays below the leaves to avoid any moisture getting in there causing it to rot.  
In my experience these guys take a VERY long time to root. But as long as the plant looks okay just have patience :)

That’s great to know :)  
If they had roots could I pot them in soil straight away?

Yup!
