hmmmmmmmmmmm...well....GENERALLY speaking...over watering is the biggest problem with ALL plants...and Hetty is quite right...is they're no roots..no way to take up the water..and cuttings can rot very easily...treat them like cacti...one successful grower states...if you feel like watering..wait another week...but so much depends on your own situation...i painted my concrete dark green for more heat...and even in the early morning...it is still hot...so bottome heat is important...generally speaking when you have good leaf growth...it means roots are forming....HOWEVER..often blooms occur on cuttings before root development...Trimmng of trees often forces the tree to form new growth and new blossoms...citrus are an excellent example of this....a good fertilizer with minor nutrients is a big help to all plants....a little rain doesn't hurt either...lol..
