If they're unrooted cuttings, just be watching them carefully and be sure they're now able to completely dry out (get them out of that moist or damp soil). For cuttings with roots, still make sure they're not sitting in wet soil (especially if it's not a well-draining mix), but for plants without roots, moisture can cause rot most easily. So, watch the ends of your cuttings for areas beginning to darken and/or turn slightly mushy. And if you see that starting to happen, just cut off that bad area of the stem and you can stick the newly cut stem end back in dry (key word: dry) soil to callous over and root all over again... Yes, that'd be starting over the whole rooting process, but the good news is, if you've got healthy stem left, the cutting can be saved, no problem. Just with scissors you can stop the rot on unrooted cuttings if you catch it early on.

As for unrooted leaves, there's a chance, with a tiny bit of drizzle, that they won't rot, but it is probable that they will start to turn mushy and you'll lose them. There's no means of saving those.

I know the feeling, though. We had some drizzle today (and I said, "Move the Begonias! Move the Begonias!") that wasn't predicted. This has pretty much happened to everyone.

Oh, thank you for mentioning about stem cuttings and leaf cuttings and the ways to treat them :)) I think I can still save my stem cuttings. As for the unrooted leaves, some of them have rot :/

By the way, what should I do to the cuttings that have rooted? I have one leaf cutting that had rooted. But I have actually forgottten about this particular cutting until I saw it again yesterday while I was cleaning. I have placed this cutting in one of the pots with plants around 2 weeks ago so it was hidden from my sight.
Should I transfer and bury the leaf's roots in soil??
And can I start watering this rooted leaf cutting? If yes, how often? How about misting the unrooted cutting, is that ok?? Some said yes, some said no - and I am confused (,") perhaps I should try both :P

Thanks again, teatree! Sort of glad to share with the drizzle experience >

First question for you would be whether you've totally fixed your soil and made it well-draining as has been recommended. High in pumice, perlite, turface, chicken grit, whatever you found available to you. If not, that needs to be the priority, as watering anything in poor soil could give you rot.

If your soil is correct, then you can begin watering (not misting) rooted cuttings once roots have developed, and begin the typical watering schedule of watering thoroughly when dry. Same goes for rooted leaves. And when I mention a cutting, I mean a portion of a plant (with some stem, for instance) that has been cut away from a grown plant to root separately. A rooted leaf is a rooted leaf in my book, not a cutting. The roots on newly rooted leaves are very delicate, and to avoid accidentally knocking them off the leaf, I might recommend dropping a pinch of the soil on top of the roots rather than trying to stick the rooted leaf end down into the soil.

No need to transfer the leaves to another pot once they've rooted unless you've yet to make a pot with a proper soil mix. A bunch of leaves set up around the edges of a pot, basically right on top of one another, can root and begin growing new plants and be just fine for a couple months or so. It'll be a little while before the individual new plants or their root systems become large enough that they'll really be interfering with one another. They don't need to immediately be given a lot of room.

As for misting unrooted cuttings, you can do that every few days and it's a good thing to promote roots. I don't mist a lot of my unrooted leaves, but some of us do. I think we might shy away from recommending misting because many new growers are really inclined to go overboard with it, just as they're inclined to go overboard with watering succulents in general. And misting is not critical to rooting, say, Echeveria and Graptoveria leaves, which root perfectly in dry soil and are easy to cause to rot-- for me their leaves root like weeds and I just don't find it necessary to mist them. I personally may periodically mist unrooted Kalanchoe leaves or a leaf that isn't as easy to root as an Echeveria leaf, and it can be very beneficial in encouraging roots to form. Unrooted cuttings I oftentimes will lightly mist every few days to encourage roots--two to three times per week, I'd say--and the same goes if I've decided to light mist an unrooted leaf.

I have one leaf cutting that had rooted. But I have actually forgotten about this particular cutting until I saw it again yesterday while I was cleaning.
Haha, and that's your first success, eh? See, that shows ya, there's a plus to being neglectful. Don't worry too much, don't fuss over things. If you stick a leaf in soil and walk away and forget, that's the one that's bound to reward you. :)

Here is the picture of the pot with the rooted leaf cutting I mentioned - there are actually 4 of them there but during the time I posted my question, there was only one that has rooted. 2 day ago, I checked again and all of them had rooted :D I was about to take the cuttings out of this pot and transfer them but the roots have found their way to the soil.

As for misting my cuttings, yes, I suppose you are right - I would have gone overboard with it. I could try it next time when I get more familiar with plants. Thanks :)

And yes, the soil is okay and well draining. I got the plant from my aunt who, in turn, got it from her neighbor. I also took the cuttings from one of her plants and stuck it there in the pot when I took it home.

Thanks, teatree! I have learned a lot from you :))
One more question (still) - I know it is okay to leave the cuttings there for now, but would it be better if I take them out now or later since there is already a big plant in that container??
Okay, I will try not to fuss about things anymore :) Thanks again!
