If the plant is healthy and putting out leaves, I wouldn't worry too much about it. You should be seeing new roots come out from late spring to late summer, when the weather is warm and the plant is in full-on growth.

Of course, as Zoi2 just said, it really depends on the growing conditions, and the shape the growing medium is in.

Sounds like you're growing it well. Roots should come as Angurek says in the spring/summer.
