Wait
As previously mentioned, now you simply wait. They supposedly grow little roots fairly quickly. I’ve never had luck propping these “easy to grow” jades. I hope they all take & you wind up with several new ones.
Be patient.
For everyone telling this person to wait, what signs are you looking for for the next step? And what is that next step? I’m about to start the same process
Let the calloused tip touch the soil a bit. Prop it up so it makes contact and just gently push into the dirt a little, not bury. Then mist a little, but don’t let it stay moist, just stop it from dehydrating. And wait…

For the jade leaf, not sure about the others.
When I saw roots I propped them up along the outside of pot and sorta sprinkled just a TINY amount of soil from the pot it’s in (fill pot as you normally would, then “sprinkle” that
Dirt a wicked little and mist)…..I lightly misted about 1x a week but stayed away from the leaf, and just made the soil a bit moist until it grew.
