Remove the bottom few leaves of each cutting so that you can insert the stems without having any of the leaves touch the soil...or another plant. I've never waited for a succulent cutting to callus over...so get them into a coarse medium pronto. Water them well initially.

This definitely did not get enough sunlight, and is probably in soil that is too water retentive. I would lose the cachepot, it retains water and will end up causing root rot. If it were mine, I would remove from its pot, check the roots, remove any dead ones, remove any dead stems as well, and repot in a fast draining potting medium in an unglazed terra cotta pot with a hole in the bottom for drainage, and place in a window that gets some full sun. This plant is a winter grower, no harm doing this now. I think the sooner the better. Christopher This post was edited by kaktuskris on Fri, Nov 1, 13 at 22:40

Cool your willing to use a make shift gritty mix. May want to sift some of the peat materail from the BBS bagged C&S soil as well. What remains after sifting is some darker bark pieces that looks like a finer mulch and some forest humus. Useable yield may vary, would think one bag of BBS unsifted bag O'crap should yield enough for all of them. You could also ( with some extra time on your hands) pick up a bag of orchid bark smaller size is better but any size will work from a BBS as well . After soaking them in warm water for a while the chunks will be eaiser to ( by hand) break it into smaller barkier pieces. Prior to sifting any especialy for Perlite I'd suggest to use some sort of mask for beathing protecing. Big drainage hole ? As in orchid pot drainage hole big ? The demo pic is a bit off. less humor or more fun ? Blue arrows. look sort of good as ASAP potting candidates for some practice for you but if me I'd cut them for newer cleaner root. Red lines suggest cutting them for re rooting and potted later Purple circle I'm Sort of mixed on this one. It can go either way. Bigger can survive longer but adapts more slowly.

I have a very robust jade plant, the only thing I consistently do is ignore it. Don't overwater it. It's sitting on south facing sunny window, I feed it my left over tea water(which has sugar and tea leaves in it). Pluck a leaf and leave it so the end dries a little, plug it back into the soil. It will grow from a leaf.
