What is the best way to take Bougainvillea cuttings and how to prepare them?

Choose newer growth. Take cutting about 6 inches long. Strip leaves from at least half way down the stem.





Place in clear container of water on sunny south window sill. OR Dip in Rootone and put in potting soil. Pot in zip type bag, sealed. To south window sill





when you see roots in water - repot. When you see new growth of leaves (potted cutting) you have roots and can remove the zip bag.





good luck - watch out for the thorns.
