Callus is a type of tissue plants make when they get wounded. They use it to fill in holes and prevent fungus from getting inside the plant long term. When you make a cutting, you're wounding the plant, which opens it up to fungal attack.

Cuttings take roughly 3-5 days to form this callus.
Actually, Echeveria tend to slow down their growth in the winter.
