How to grow a new Opuntia (prickly pear) from a cutting?

$

I cut this pad which grew this summer from my Opuntia and I want to make a new one. I know I have to let it dry for some time before planting it, so that the wound can heal. For now I just left it on the soil, in a dry atmosphere indoors. But I have a few questions.

  • How do I know that it's ready?
  • Will I see roots appear at the bottom if I leave it in this position for some time?
  • Do I have to humidify the soil a little so that the roots can grow?
  • Once it's planted, do I have to wait a few days/weeks before watering it for the first time?
