In dirt you wait for the top to get greener and visibly start growing,no way to dig them and see the roots:)You can use the smallest plastic pots available.Clonex gel can't be applied twice(but they have other products to soak the medium i think) but you can add some beneficial rooting bacteria later with watering....
Mine were 8 days old on the pic in peat(unfortunately i found this particular peat is pre loaded with some ferts which is not good,you need lite,airy soil mix),LOTS of perlite +"root better"which are the beneficial bacteria in my case.I didnt use gel.
Keep them in wet,shaded place for a while,better dont move them so they can root easily.People use boxes to keep the humidity around them while they are rooting.

Why cut the tips of the leaves?

Its not necessary,mostly to make the cutting concentrate on rooting ,not photosynthesis.The very tops are most important.
and in my box i just want them tight as possible and dont like them to touch each other or the plastic wall if possible.But otherwise you can leave the leaves.
