I am a newbie at rooting Plumerias. I have a nice cutting that I planted in a pot in mid-Feb which is around my pool and getting full sun (though through a screen). Temps here in SW Florida have been 70s/80s during the day and 50s/60s during the night. I've read that they will root when temps are over 60 so I know the temps have been inconsistent. It's been 6 weeks though and still nothing. I can't see if its rooting since my pot is black plastic and people say not to disturb the roots. It does have closed green/reddish claws at the tip (see pic). I've read about plumeria rot and although the stalk feels solid above the soil, beneath the soil, it feels there is a separation between the "bark" and the "pulp" inside the stalk and the pulp inside seems less. It doesn't feel squishy wet though. Not sure if I should give it more time or dig it up and assess the end (and risk disturbing roots)?
