Both of my cuttings that sat there for months began to put on some serious growth in late 2022/early 2023. I finally got a peduncle with one developing bud in last summer, and then of course I was crushed when it blasted at about 1/4 inch in size. It seemed as if I was never destined to flower this species. Finally in late November I had peduncles and developing buds which actually began to open!
