My method is to have a pretty gritty mix (eg 70% pumice, 30% cactus soil or even potting soil). Then I lay the head on top of it, and bottom water once every couple weeks to let the plant sense a moisture gradient that its newly formed roots seek out. Ultimately the roots sprout and you’ll find that when you wiggle the head after a month or so, it feels pretty firm.

Rooting hormones might work but I’ve never tried it

I have been using bird sand for rooting. It is loose, allowing the roots to spread out easily. It dries quickly and is said to prevent mold thanks to aniseed oil. It took a few weeks, but I managed to save my Haworthia gintaikyo cv. Gintaikyo this way. Every few days, I sprayed a circle of water around the plant to stimulate root formation.
