I have a jasmine cutting. how do I propergate it?

If you have a rooting hormone, dip the cuttings and stick it on a rooting soil. If you don't have any, don't worry, you can just stick it on a growing soil. Keep the soil moist all the time. Place it on a bright area away from a direct sun. The leaves might all drop but as long as the stem is green keep it. It seemed to take forever for them to grow again but eventually it will. Have patience. When it gives new shoots the feeling is so rewarding.





I gave a cutting to a friend of mine and gave the same instructions 6 years ago and their jasmine plant is doing great. I know it works because it's my technique.





Another technique that I read on a gardening book is pretty much the same as mine. The only difference on this one, you have to cover the entire process with a clear plastic. The reason for this is to maintain the humidity inside while the plant start to grow new roots. Make sure though that the plastic never get in contact with the leaves or any parts of the plant to avoid roting or molds development. If you do it right, I believe this process is a lot faster. This process, you're creating a microclimate for your plant. I'm not really sure how long you'll keep it this way but my best guess is wait until it starts to give new shoots as indications that it's growing. If that time comes, don't uncover right away. Slowly introduce it to your home surrounding by punching 1 or 2 holes/day until it's acclimatised itself or the plastic all tattered up.





If you have more than one cuttings, you can experiment. Let me know which one is faster. Good luck and have fun.

Rooting a Cutting


Select and cut an appropriate section of stem, 3-4" long, from the mother plant. Wet the bottom end, dip in rooting hormone powder, then tap lightly to remove excess powder. Plant in a starter mix of vermiculite and peat. Apply water to keep the mix moist but not wet. Roots should develop in 1-2 months.





A good indicator of success is new growth from the dormant buds. It will help to place the cutting in a warm environment with higher humidity. This can be achieved with a Jiffy tray equipped with a clear plastic dome. Consider making several cuttings to ensure success as it is unlikely that all will root.
Reply:Hi,


You can also just put it in a clear glass jar by a well lit (kinda sunny) window and it will root. If you can get a bunch of them as with any cutting some will root and others will die. This happens even on a professional level. Good luck.
