How can I successfully propagate and establish new bougainvillea plants through rooting bougainvillea cuttings?

To successfully propagate and establish new bougainvillea plants through rooting bougainvillea cuttings, follow these steps:

1. Select healthy, mature stems for cuttings.
2. Cut a 6-8 inch section of the stem at a 45-degree angle.
3. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting.
4. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
5. Plant the cutting in a well-draining potting mix.
6. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a warm, bright location.
7. Monitor the cutting for roots to develop, which may take a few weeks.
8. Once roots have formed, transplant the cutting into a larger pot or garden bed.
