How can I successfully propagate bougainvillea cuttings in water?

To successfully propagate bougainvillea cuttings in water, follow these steps:

1. Take a 6-8 inch cutting from a healthy bougainvillea plant.
2. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting.
3. Place the cutting in a container of water, making sure the nodes are submerged.
4. Change the water every few days to prevent rot.
5. After a few weeks, roots should start to form.
6. Once roots are established, transplant the cutting into soil.
