Can African jasmine be propagated by cuttings?African jasmine can be propagated by cuttings. Usually, African jasmine is propagated by cuttings from April to October, and the most suitable time is June to July, because the temperature is more suitable at this time, and its rooting speed is faster, usually taking root in about 1 month. If it is propagated by cuttings in October, it may take about 2 months to take root. African jasmine cuttings stepsChoose the culture soil: It is best to use a mixture of peat soil, vermiculite or loess soil, which are acidic and breathable soils. Dry the soil before cuttings. In addition, you can also use African jasmine hydroponics for rooting. Cuttings preparation: Select a one-year-old healthy branch of the African jasmine plant, cut off a section, cut into several sections, each section is 12-15 cm long, keep 3 leaves, and cut off the rest of the branches and leaves, so that the best distance between the incision and the node is 0.3 cm. Cuttings and management: Insert the cuttings into the culture soil or water, then cover with plastic film. After they are dry, place them in a cool place, avoid direct sunlight, ensure the temperature is between 20-30 degrees, and pay attention to the moisture of the soil every day. They will take root in January or February, and the success rate of cuttings can reach more than 80%. Maintenance and management methods of African jasmine after cuttingTemperature: The temperature of the cuttings after cuttings should be around 20-30℃. If it is lower than 20℃, it is very difficult for the cuttings to take root and the growth is slow. If it exceeds 30℃, the cut ends are easily affected by diseases because the bottom is moist and not dry, so they are prone to rot. Humidity: After cutting, the indoor air humidity should be maintained at about 75%-80%. When the cuttings have not taken root, they should be kept fresh and tender. Cuttings without roots cannot absorb nutrients or maintain water balance, so manual intervention is required, such as spraying to lower the ambient temperature, increase humidity, and reduce water evaporation. Light: After planting, shade the area at around 50%-80 degrees. After the roots grow out, remove the shading net. |
