    Keep the soil of the plant moist (but not too wet so you prevent root rot) and also expect your plant to look a little sad for a few days (plants are dramatic and can go into shock when moved to an environment they aren’t used to), but it should perk up after a few days.

    I'm used to dealing with pretty sensitive plants so this may be overkill, but sterilize a no-drainage pot (swab it with a paper towel soaked in alcohol. Dry it after) and either sphagnum moss or soil (whatever your plant calls for. Pour boiling water into the soil and let it cool before you use it.) Make a soupy swampy mix of your substrate with a lot of water (again, sterile. Either distilled or boiled and cooled) in it, and plant your cutting in that. Over the next one to two weeks it'll gradually dry to be like regular soil, and you water it like normal (just being careful about the lack of drainage.) After a few months, the plant will be acclimated to soil and ready for repotting into a normal pot
