Cloning 101

When a cutting is taken for a clone, it obviously has no roots, thusly no way of taking in nutrients. The cutting needs nutrition so it starts using nutrients stored in its leaves. By the time the cutting has roots, many of the leaves will be very yellow because the cutting has sucked all the life from them. These leaves will never recover. Some of the leaves that are yellowed to a lesser degree may recover. It is the new growth that you are interested in making sure remains healthy. Understand this principle and you will be much better prepared to deal with your young clones.

If you put the clones in smaller pots/cups for their first couple of weeks, it is easier to manage their root environment and get the plant over the stress of cloning and turn it into a thriving plant.
