After any fresh cuts, you need to wait about 10 days for the cut to form a callus. Otherwise it may rot. After the cut forms a dry callus, plant it, but only keep the media lightly damp. Any more moisture than that can cause fungus/rot. The plant is a succulent, and it acts like a reservoir for moisture, it protects if from drying out. When you water, it should be allowed a period of dryness in between, otherwise you are giving it too much.
