How can I successfully propagate bougainvillea plants using cuttings?

To successfully propagate bougainvillea plants using cuttings, follow these steps:

1. Take a cutting from a healthy bougainvillea plant, about 6 inches long.
2. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting.
3. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone to promote root growth.
4. Plant the cutting in a well-draining soil mix.
5. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a warm, sunny location.
6. Roots should develop in a few weeks, and the cutting can be transplanted into a larger pot or garden.
