Growing Jasmine from Cuttings

Steps Involved:

• Ensure your cutter or pruner is clean and sharp.
• Cuttings should be 6 to 10 inches long, with about 4 inches going into the soil.
• Strip the leaves from the cutting before rooting.
• Dip the cutting into rooting powder (cheap and organic rooting powder can be made using cinnamon bark powder – just dip the rooting point into this powder or alternatively purchase a rooting powder).
• Cuttings grow best in summer and humid atmosphere (60 to 80 degrees Celsius is ideal).
• Wait for at least a month before considering a failure.

Important Cutting Tips:

• Take the cutting from the semi-hard part of the plant for best results.
• The cutting angle should be kept at about 45 degrees and cut just below the leaf node.
• Insert the cutting to a depth of about 3-4 inches into the potting soil. I suggest a mix of plain soil (60%), coco-peat or sand (30%), and compost like vermicompost or even powdered decomposed cow or horse dung (10%).
