Anna, since I keep my cuttings bone-dry, until I see leaf growth I won't do a thing. When I see that leafing out, I will only then give them a gentle tug. Mine are in 100% coarse perlite, so if they are rooted, the dry perlite doesn't harm the roots. Only when rooted do I remove them and re-pot into individual pots. I am certainly no expert here, but IF my rooting media was wet, I would remove all the cuttings and start all over with dry media.
