How to make jasmine survive by cuttings

Jasmine has a refreshing fragrance and its flowers are white and elegant, and are loved by many flower lovers. It is completely possible to propagate jasmine by cuttings.

However, if you want a high survival rate of cuttings, you need to learn some cutting techniques. I will share them with you below so that even beginners can easily make cuttings survive.

First, prepare the cutting materials

Jasmine branches, scissors, mineral water bottles or disposable cups, culture medium, and watering can.

Second, choose branches

The best branches to use for jasmine cuttings are one-year-old strong branches. Do not use tender branches or two-year-old old branches. Choose long branches without flower buds. This way, the pruned branches will have dead leaves and sprout new buds and grow flower buds.

The pruned branches need to be trimmed into 7-8 cm long branches, leaving 2 leaves on the top. If the leaves are large, trim half of them to reduce water evaporation from the leaves and increase the success rate.

Third, the culture soil is filled into the cup

Use a disposable plastic cup or mineral water bottle. The bottle needs to be trimmed to the same height as the cup and a few small holes should be poked at the bottom to allow it to be water-permeable and breathable.

The advantage of using a transparent cup is that you can observe the growth of the roots. Fill it with substrate, about 80% full, leaving enough height for watering.

Fourth, cuttings

You can use a small stick to poke a small hole in the nutrient soil before starting cuttings. After the jasmine branches are inserted, just compact the soil.

Fifth, maintenance management

After jasmine cuttings, they need to be placed in a place where they cannot be exposed to direct sunlight for maintenance and management.

When caring for jasmine cuttings, pay attention to watering to keep the soil moist. It is best to have diffuse light and good ventilation to speed up germination and rooting. It can be transplanted in about a month.
