How to Propagate Star jasmine?
Propagating star jasmine typically involves semi-ripe cuttings and layering. Key factors for success include warm temperatures, indirect sunlight, and well-draining soil. Taking cuttings during the active growing season and ensuring adequate moisture without overwatering are crucial. The process may have a moderate difficulty level due to the need for consistent humidity and warmth. Steps are as follows: (1) Cut a 4-6 inch stem segment below a leaf node, (2) Remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone, (3) Plant in a pot with appropriate potting mix, (4) Maintain consistent humidity with a plastic cover, and (5) Allow roots to establish before transplanting. Layering involves bending a stem to the ground, nicking it, and covering the nicked section with soil until roots form.
