How can I successfully propagate lilac from a cutting?

To successfully propagate lilac from a cutting, take a 4-6 inch cutting from a healthy lilac plant in the spring or early summer. Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone. Plant the cutting in a pot with well-draining soil and keep it in a warm, humid environment with indirect sunlight. Water the cutting regularly and wait for roots to develop before transplanting it into the garden.
