How can I successfully grow lilac from cuttings?

To successfully grow lilac from cuttings, follow these steps:

1. Take a cutting from a healthy lilac plant in the spring or early summer.
2. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
3. Plant the cutting in a pot with well-draining soil and keep it moist.
4. Place the pot in a warm, sunny location but avoid direct sunlight.
5. Monitor the cutting for roots to develop, which may take a few weeks to a few months.
6. Once roots have formed, transplant the cutting into a larger pot or into the ground.
