Hi everybody, I'm a bit of a lurker here but I finally mustered up the courage to post. I have five plumeria cuttings (one rooted Puu Kahea, two unrooted Gold OP #3, one unrooted Grove Farm and a mystery) which are all nice big, healthy cuttings. I planted them each in one-gallon black plastic nursery pots with rooting hormone and a nice light mix with plenty of perlite, watered them once and put them on a small grow-mat in a south facing window. I'm in Massachusetts. They stay between 65-70 degrees and get full sun nearly all day. When spring actually arrives, they'll go outside in full sun.

From all my research, this seems to be the best time to plant new cuttings - however, I planted them on the 31st (the day I received them) and after two weeks have seen no change in any of them. Some have shiny tips but no tiny leaves are opening up. Is this normal? They seem to be stuck. I suppose they could just be putting all their energy into making roots, but I feel like after two solid weeks there should be a bit of change topside. Your thoughts? Thank you!
