Well, different cultivars and hybrids have different growth rates and growth patterns. Some do stay more compact and low growing than others. Some grow really tall and open too. If your rooted cutting is growing at its natural pace in ideal conditions -- i.e., full sun and lots of water and fertilizer -- it should be in a 10- or 15-gallon container right now. Most of my thee-year-olds are rootbound in 10- or 15-gallon containers. The fact that it dries out faster than your other plumies probably means that it is rootbound and needs a bigger pot. Being kept rootbound for too long will stunt a plumeria's growth so that could be why you are not seeing the growth that you should. Here are some of my three year old's.
