How to propagate Trachelospermum jasminoides

Layering propagation of Trachelospermum jasminoides

The preferred propagation method for Trachelospermum jasminoides is layering. During the rainy season, its tender stems are more likely to grow aerial roots. Taking advantage of this characteristic of Trachelospermum jasminoides, its tender stems are layered continuously and cut off in the autumn to obtain a large number of seedlings.

Or during the rainy season, cut the tender stems with aerial roots, insert them into plain soil, and place them in semi-shade, the survival rate will be high.

Potted ivy usually does not produce seeds after flowering, but ground-planted ivy can produce cylindrical fruits after flowering. After harvesting in October, it can be sown in the spring of the following year. However, the seeded seedlings will not bloom until 3 to 4 years later, while layering and cutting seedlings can bloom in the second year, so the sowing method is generally not used.

Aerial root planting of Trachelospermum jasminoides

Potted plants can also be used for hanging or climbing plantings due to their own characteristics. When using aerial roots for climbing planting, you can first put palm columns or shaped dead tree trunks in the flowerpot and tie them into various shapes. The cultivation and maintenance of Trachelospermum jasminoides is not difficult. The soil needs to be kept moist, and water should be sprayed on the palm columns or supports frequently to increase the humidity. Avoid direct sunlight during the growing period. It is easy to propagate by cuttings or layering during the growing season.
