Hi Mike,
I water the cuttings lightly when they're first potted, then I don't water them again until I see that the leaves are sprouting. I potted up 6 cuttings that I got in Maui this year, and 5 of them rooted, but I lost Donald Angus that got wet from all of the rains we had been having. It took weeks for the others to leaf out, and they've finally been put in full sun. I kept them in semi shade until they started growing leaves.
Best of luck with your cuttings!
Annette
