How to propagate African jasmine and what to pay attention to

African jasmine reproduction method

There are four main ways to propagate African jasmine: cuttings, division, sowing and layering. Its seeds can also be propagated, and its natural reproduction method is also seed propagation. Generally speaking, African jasmine is propagated fastest by cuttings.

African jasmine breeding time

The specific time for the reproduction of African jasmine to achieve a high survival rate depends on the method of reproduction. For example, if it is division reproduction, it is suitable to be carried out in March and April in spring, and if it is cutting reproduction, it is best to be carried out in June and July, with a high survival rate.

African Jasmine Propagation Method

Propagation of African jasmine by division

Remove the African jasmine from the pot, remove some of the soil on the roots, and then use a sharp knife to cut the weak points of the plant's roots. Each clump should have at least 2-3 stems and a part of the root system that is intact, and then plant them in pots separately.

African jasmine cutting propagation

Cut 1-2 year old healthy African jasmine branches as cuttings. The cuttings should be 12-15 cm long, with 2 to 3 and a half leaves. The lower incision should be located 0.2-0.3 cm below the node. Plant them in peat soil, then cover the plants with plastic film to keep them moist. When the weather is clear, pay attention to proper shade. They will take root in 1-2 months.

African jasmine seed propagation

First, germinate the seeds of African jasmine, then sow them directly on loose and fertile sandy loam, cover them with a thickness of 2-3 cm, and cover them with a layer of plastic wrap to keep warm to promote germination as soon as possible.

African Jasmine Breeding Tips

1. Division propagation is a relatively simple method of propagation for African jasmine. However, during the division process, try to avoid too many wounds on the root system to avoid affecting future growth.

2. If African jasmine is sown and propagated in late autumn and early winter, it will generally take until the spring of the following year for seedlings to emerge. After emergence, remove the plastic wrap in time, and pay attention to strengthening water and fertilizer management, and pay attention to timely shading after summer.
