How to propagate jasmine and what to pay attention to

Jasmine reproduction method

The main ways of propagating jasmine are cuttings, layering, division and sowing. Its seeds can be propagated, and its natural way of reproduction is seed propagation. Generally speaking, cuttings are the fastest way to propagate.

Jasmine breeding time

Generally, it is more appropriate to choose May to October for jasmine reproduction. The climate, temperature, humidity, etc. at this time are more suitable, and the survival rate of reproduction is high.

Jasmine breeding method

Jasmine division propagation

After entering dormancy in winter, cut the mother plant 5-10 cm from the ground and pile up soil to keep it over the winter. In spring, dig up the soil pile to allow the mother plant's basal branches to sprout new branches. Properly thin out the thin and weak branches. When the new branches grow to more than 10 cm, make a cut at the base of the branches and add soil to make the base take root. After 2 months, the plants can be divided and transplanted.

Jasmine cutting propagation

The seedbed should be made of well-structured sandy soil. It is best to choose strong branches for cuttings. After cutting off the leaves and side branches, the length should be about 10 to 15 cm. The distance between the lower end and the node should be slightly shorter than the distance between the upper end and the node. Poke a hole in the substrate and insert the branch into the hole. Cover the seedbed with a layer of chopped straw and water it thoroughly after covering.

Jasmine seed propagation

1. Prepare the potting soil: You can use garden soil, river sand, leaf mold and an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer. After completing the soil preparation, spread a layer of small gravel on the bottom of the flower pot, and then put it in the pot.

2. Seed germination: Choose seeds with full grains and soak them in warm water at about 35°C. When the seed skin becomes soft, take out the seeds and drain the water before planting.

3. Sowing: Sprinkle the treated seeds evenly on the surface of the soil, cover with a thin layer of soil, and give them appropriate moisture.

Hydroponic jasmine propagation

Prepare a transparent bottle, add 2-3 cm of clean water into it, cut branches about 7-9 cm long, insert them into the water, and transplant them into hydroponics after they take root. When maintaining them, add appropriate amount of nutrient solution to the water to allow them to grow better.

Jasmine breeding precautions

When breeding jasmine, you need to pay attention to using loose, fertile, humus-rich, slightly acidic sandy soil for cultivation. The water for watering the flowers must not be tap water, rain water is best. If there is only tap water, you can leave the water for 2-3 days before using it to water the flowers.
