First attempt at cuttings, how have I done? Advice?

So my mom aquired these plumeria cuttings for the umpteenth time. She kills them as often as she kills orchids. It is just not her gift. We are both green thumbs, but I have more patience so I took them from her and attempted to see if I can make them grow. I followed the instructions I was told by the seller. Put in small pot, with cactus mix for dirt(good drainage). I did not water, not once. I put it in my patio where it gets sunlight but not at the hottest part of the day. I live in Central Florida so it cooks stuff here. I had black rocks to hold it up and draw heat. Both cuttings have since put out leaves.

Advice on what to do next is greatly appreciated! Note it still hasn't been watered, it has been a few months.

EDIT: My apologies if the links are not clickable. I originally posted with the pics viewable, but they were so large not even a full screen can see them. Plus I could not figure out hoe o shrink.
