How to propagate the jasmine

Growth habits of jasmine

The aromatic fragrance is native to Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces and regions south of the Yangtze River in my country. It likes a warm climate and is resistant to both sun and partial shade, but is not very cold-resistant. It requires the soil to be loose, fertile and well-drained.

How to propagate the jasmine

Propagation by division

Before the fragrant grass sprouts, you need to select a sturdy seedling, cut off the roots connecting it to the mother plant, and plant it in the ground. It will then grow into a new plant!

Cutting propagation

Select healthy and strong branches with a length of about 10 to 15 cm. Use a knife to cut the lower part into a horse ear shape. Then insert it about halfway into the soil, compact it, water it until it is thoroughly watered, keep the soil moist, and provide shade. It will germinate in about 50 days and can be transplanted the following year.

Layering propagation

Select thick sucker branches, peel the side that is pressed into the soil into a semi-ring, then bury it in the soil, exposing the branch tips, keep the soil moist, cut off the mother branches in the second year, and cultivate them separately. Transplanting can be done in winter and spring, and bare-root transplanting is possible. When planting, the soil must be kept moist. If it is dry, it will easily cause the leaves to fall.

Fertilization management of jasmine

After the osmanthus blooms, apply fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen, which is beneficial to the growth of branches and leaves. After autumn, apply compound fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium, which is beneficial to the differentiation of flower buds. No fertilizer is required at other times.

The above is the propagation method of Osmanthus fragrans. I hope that flower lovers can cultivate healthy and beautiful Osmanthus fragrans according to this article!
