Jo,

In your warmer zone--I would think you can do some diluted fertilizing by now.
Like a few drops of MG in a qt.
I am just guessing......Today, I used, for the 1st time, my "Green Weed" seaweed fertilizer I ordered from
"Planet natural". I put it on EVERYTHING---my stupid way of doing things. Even my AV's.

Your cuttings look good! Just keep them in tight pots. They do not bloom until they are root-bound.
I can see a couple more years for them before they get to that state.

Put them outside in good light--but not in direct PM sun. Water as usual--feed when you feed anything else.

They can grow massive! And, often, very lopsided. Just their way.
When you DO plant them up in a HB--make sure it is a sturdy one. I am sure you have seen the pictures of mine.....
One of them is ALL to one side--and there is nothing i can do about it....

Here is a picture I just took. This is in my LR and my two Epis...
