Gumlla: It all depends on so many different factors. I started this Frosty Pink as a 12" cutting on January 7, 2004. Here she is on March 30, 2004. Obviously this was a cutting fom the region of the plant above the Y. It was started in a greenhouse that was kept about 70 degrees which is optimum for plant growth. Once it started to leaf out (this was a bare stick cutting), I started fertilizing it about once a week with 1/2 strength organic fertilizer mix. Hope this is helpful to you :) Gretchen

Edited to add that I also have some cuttings that were started around that time that are just beginning to bloom 7 months later...All depends. I lthink they bloom when they're good and ready and not a minute before LOL!
