How to propagate jasmine by cuttings

1. Taking cuttings

Choose relatively strong jasmine branches and cut them into cuttings with two sections each. Cut the bottom of the branch at an angle, leaving two leaves and cut off half of each. This can reduce water evaporation.

2. Cutting branches

Insert the cut cuttings into the prepared soil or sand. When cutting, straighten the branches and press the surrounding soil with your fingers to prevent the branches from loosening, which is more conducive to rooting. After completion, place it in a dark and ventilated place. It will take about a month to grow leaves and about two months to grow roots, then you can transplant it into a flowerpot.

3. Notes

Before rooting, avoid direct sunlight and do not apply fertilizer, otherwise it will easily be infected by bacteria and cause rot at the cuttings. Be sure to move the plant indoors in time on rainy days. Do not water it with rainwater, as this will cause the branches to rot. Keep the soil in the pot moist and spray water on the branches appropriately.
