How long should I give a cutting before I give up?

Hey everybody, I purchased some cuttings online a few months ago and while I have had two that have started growing, the majority have not. Some look like they might grow and some don't. Do you think that I have some late bloomers or should I just be happy with the two that I got and throw the rest out.

The cuttings that I purchased I just put in dirt in a plastic cup.

Thank you everybody for your advice!

Until proven dead, they may be alive. Don't toss the pots and don't toss the labels or you'll end with one problem that I have.
I had some pots this Spring where the cuttings sort of did not make it. I just put them in a corner of the walkway.
Come August, I needed a pot for a root-shoot, so I go fetch one pot for reuse and I saw 4 leaves in the middle ... obviously the leaves were the ones of a fig tree - two leaves out of four were already yellow from lack of water and cares  ...
I watered the thing, and she has some 8 leaves by now ... The question now is, is it a cutting from tree 1 or tree 2 or tree 3 or tree 4 or tree ... ?
I knew who they were because of last years place of the pots ... But since I moved some inside other to the basement for the winter and some were declared lost ... Now, I'll let it grow and see ...
I know that it is a foreign cutting and not one from my garden, so I'm curious.

So definitively, keep them for at least 6 months - if they are valuable to you. If all cuttings are of the same strain and you just need the two ...
The choice is yours.
Some cuttings may wait till next Spring to show buds and leaves as we are already getting late in the season.
As for pots, I would have used a one gallon pot for each cutting or for 2 cuttings. Those pots would keep the cutting happy until next Spring at least.

I agree with jdsfrance, if I cutting still looks alive (isn't moldy or dried out) I would wait and see what happens. I have been in the sample place with cuttings and some times they take much longer for one reason or another.
