Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Plumeria Problem, 1 by amarantha00

Hi, I'm hoping one of you Plumeria Pros can tell me what to do about this Plumeria. I purchased the rooted cutting below (Mermaid's Gem) from the same vendor where I've bought 95% of my plumies from (and all other ones have bloomed and done terrificly). I planted it, in high quality cactus mix, just like all the other's I've planted, in the mid-fall. Although it hasn't died and the cutting still looks strong, and even has a bit of green growth, it's never sent up the little lobster claws. All of my others are fully leafed out. It's in the same area (lots of sun), gets the same amount of water as every other one (probably a bit less water, since it hasn't leafed out and I don't want to over-water). When I gently move the cutting, it doesn't feel "solidly" rooted like all the other ones. I've never had this happen before, and I've also never had one I purchased rooted, die. I just don't know what to do :-(

What should I do with this in order to make it glorious, or at least growing, like the rest??

Thanks :-)
