Lilac's can you snip a branch off to get a start?

I was wanting to know can you snip some starters off a lilac bush and put the stem in to water will it root up so that you can plant it later ? if so how long will it take it to root up ?

Lilac%26#039;s can you snip a branch off to get a start?
No lilacs require a bit of the root to start them.Dig a 2-3 inch root ball out of the plant while it is dormant.Late fall, very early spring.Replant in a new location.Once spring arrives water regularly and soon you will have a small lilac start.You can start several this way and have a fairly good size bush.It takes them anywhere form 3-5 years after transplanting to begin to bloom.Just so you know.
Reply:Yes you can, but not like that. You need something called %26quot;Rooting Hormone%26quot; or %26quot;rooting Powder%26quot; that you can buy in any nursery or greenhouse. You wet the stem, dip it in rooting powder and then put the thing into the dirt. That%26#039;s about it.
