I believe my cactus is a Chamaelobivia 'Rose Quartz'
A few weeks ago my cactus started to rot at the bottom from most likely over watering and new soil that I got to repot the cactus in. I used a sterilized blade to cut a good bit over the rot. I then put some rooting hormone on the cut end and let it sit out for a few days. When I planted the cutting into some desert sand that I have I believe I made a mistake in not watering him. I have since been watering because he is looking wilted at the bottom
I have had this cactus for a long time and would like someone to help me save him please
short version:
Should I water my cactus cuttings, how often and what else can I do to get them to grow roots
Also the pieces aren't that big, Will they still root? And what to do about my cuttings wilting?
There are two different cuttings.

Cross-posting the same thing in different categories of the forum is frowned upon everywhere. I've already answered your post in the Cultivation forum. I understand why you're anxious, but you won't get results any faster this way.
