Propagating Blueberry Bushes from Cuttings

My neighbor has productive blueberry bushes. Can I propagate my own from cuttings?

Blueberry Cutting Protocol

Take 6+ inch tender shoots, remove lower leaves, dip in rooting compound (garden center), stick 1 inch into wet potting mix. Cover with clear lightweight plastic. Place in indirect light (east window or fluorescents). After 2 weeks, tug gently—resistance means roots. Remove plastic, keep moist, treat as seedling. Note: blueberries need acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5) for long-term success.
