You could put the cuttings in a glass of water - but I'm not sure how well they would do. A glass of water is by definition not well drained!
If being able to see what is going on is important - and I do agree - try going to the garden centre and getting a couple of clear plastic orchid pots. when you push the cuttings down the side of the pot you will still be able to see to some extent. Then you can watch the cutting and hopefully see the root development while still giving the free draining situation required to get them to strike.
