Hey all!

I'm relieved to have found a forum like this one dedicated to Plumerias. Been trying to find info online to help me out, but couldn't really find anything. The situation goes like this:

I bought two Plumeria cuttings (different colours) in December on a tropical market. They looked healthy. I planted them on the soil on different pots, with regular soil mix (didn't use perlite or anything). Since then I've been watering them regularly, careful to give a chance to the soil to dry a bit between waterings. I placed them on a sunny window. At some point I gave them a bit of rooting hormone (liquid) but I don't think it made any difference. Anyway I like to avoid giving chemicals and artificial stuff to my plants, I tend to look for more natural alternatives.

We are now at the end of April...to be honest, not a lot has happened. I'll post here two pictures of them. They do seem alive, and I would say that perhaps soon they will start showing some leaves...but it's so slow I'm wondering if it's normal. Everywhere online people say they start growing after 2 weeks-2 months. It's spring and I would like to plant them directly on the soil on a place we have close to the ocean. It's humid, not too hot and there is no frost, ever.

Thank you for reading this up, any help is dearly appreciated.
