Jasmine cutting time

The time for jasmine cuttings can be between May and October, but a suitable environment is more conducive to its rooting, so it is best between May and June. The survival rate of jasmine cuttings will be higher.

1. Choose branches : It is best to choose healthy and sturdy plants for jasmine cuttings. Cut thick, disease-free and insect-free 1-2 year old branches. Pay attention to cut the lower half of the branches. The bottom of the branches should be cut into an oblique mouth. Cut off the lower leaves and keep 1-2 leaves on the top. Remember to cut a few more branches to prevent some from not taking root.

2. Prepare the soil : The soil for jasmine cuttings should be slightly acidic sandy soil, and it should be loose, breathable and easy to drain.

3. Prepare for cuttings : After preparing the substrate, dip the cut end of the branch in a little rooting powder and insert it into the soil. Then spray some water into the potting soil to keep it moist. After cuttings, place it in a dimly lit and ventilated place.

Jasmine cuttings precautions

After jasmine is grafted, the humidity of the surrounding environment must be ensured to prevent water from evaporating too quickly. You can spray water around it to solve the humidity problem. Also, do not fertilize the jasmine immediately after grafting. The cuttings are still very weak at this time. Fertilizing too early will hinder its growth and make it difficult to grow new roots.
