Jasmine can be easily propagated via offshoots

When is the best time to get spins?

In order for the offshoots to root well, the plant substrate must be warm enough. You also need young shoots that are only slightly woody in order to obtain cuttings from them.

The best time for trimming cuttings is from late spring to summer. Then the jasmine has formed enough young branches that can be cut as cuttings.

How to cut cuttings for propagation

  • Cut annual shoots
  • shorten to 10 to 15 centimeters
  • cut off lower leaves
  • remove any existing buds
  • halve large leaves

The shoots for offshoots may no longer be completely green, but also not completely lignified. They are planted in well-drained potting soil or in garden soil that has been improved with mature compost and expanded clay (€19.73).

Some gardeners swear by dipping the ends of the cuttings in rooting powder before planting. In most cases, however, the cultivation works without additional help.

Properly care for offshoots of jasmine

The temperature and humidity must be right so that you can grow offshoots from jasmine. The earth should be at least 20 degrees warm. You need a bright place where the cuttings are nice and warm.

Put a clear plastic bag over the cuttings. As a result, the soil does not dry out and the humidity remains constant.

The offshoots are now kept bright and warm until new leaves have formed. This can take a few weeks to months. Don't forget to air the plastic wrap several times a week to keep the cutting from rotting.

Repot rooted offshoots

When the jasmine offshoot has formed enough roots, it is transplanted into a pot or bucket. You can tell when the time is right because small side shoots have developed on the cuttings.

You can also propagate scented jasmine or false jasmine by cuttings. But offshoots of the Philadelphus species can also be obtained by lowering shoots.
