Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Fertilizer question, 1 by Sis_E

I read a lot of the sticky above. There is sooooooo much information with different fertilizer numbers that it is confusing. I have two Plumeria cuttings (thanks Hetty!). Each has leaves starting. I just put them in pots 2 days ago. What fertilizer do I use? I am in zone 9B. When do I fertilize? I have fertilizer which is 10-10-10. Is that ok to use? Should I use MG Bloom Booster instead?

I potted my cuttings per Plumeria 101 in approx 1 gallon containers. I watered them thoroughly. I am going to wait a week before watering again. Should I fertilize at that time? Lots of newbie questions!

Thanks for your kindness :)

P.S. In the picture, the plant on the left appears to be leaning. It's not, it's the camera angle :-P Also wanted to add that since this picture was taken only 2-3 days ago, the single root plant's leaves are growing more already! The branched plumeria hasn't changed yet :)
