Agave potatorum de-pup and aftercare

Hi -
I finally worked up the nerve to de-pup my favorite agave - first time I have done this. My question now is how to care for mom and babies at this point.
Mom is back in the sun (is that okay, or should I put her in the shade?) as she did not lose many roots in the transaction. In fact, she has a huge rootball. Babies were potted in a dry mix (how long until I water them?) and are in a shady spot. How long should I keep them shaded?
Here is what happened.

Mom after de-pup:

babies with roots

{{gwi:582313}}
babies with no roots...do they have a chance?

How did I do?
Thanks.
