What to do if jasmine cuttings won't survive? Put a plastic cup over them, and one branch grows into a whole pot

?There is one problem that any friend who likes propagating jasmine must have run into, and that is that water-propagated jasmine always dies when potted up. This is because rooted cuttings of jasmine struggle to adapt to a sudden change in environment. So how can water-propagated jasmine achieve 100% survival when potted up? Hurry up and keep reading with Huahua!

Propagate jasmine this way for a 100% survival rate

1. For cuttings, choose relatively sturdy branches whenever possible, keep 2-3 growth buds on each section of branch, and cut off about 1/3 of the leaves on the branch.

2. After preparing the branch, first stick it into a piece of foam board, then put it in water. Keep the water-propagated jasmine in a cool, ventilated place, and it will root in about 15 days!

3. Once it has rooted, start preparing for potting up. First find a slightly smaller flower pot; if you don't have one, you can just use a disposable paper cup instead.

4. After choosing the pot, prepare a basin a bit larger than the pot; this basin must not have drainage holes in the bottom.

5. Set the large basin around the outside of the small pot, and once it is in place, add water to the small pot, with the water deep enough to cover the jasmine's roots.

6. With one hand holding the seedling so the roots do not touch the bottom of the pot, use the other hand to fill the water with soil.

7. After that, just place the seedling in a spot with bright, indirect light for care. The moist soil gives the jasmine seedling's roots a transition period, letting them gradually adapt to the soil environment, so the survival rate naturally goes up!

Pot up jasmine cuttings this way for a 100% survival rate!

1. Once the jasmine has adapted to the soil environment, it needs to be moved into a larger pot for normal care.

2. Take the jasmine out of the small pot and rinse the soil off its roots with water until clean.

3. If conditions allow, you can soak the jasmine in a potassium permanganate solution for 20-30 minutes to disinfect it.

4. The soil used for caring for jasmine can be made by mixing garden soil, river sand and compost in a 2:1:1 ratio, and you can also mix in a little chicken manure fertilizer.

How do you care for jasmine in summer?

Once jasmine has been potted up, it enters the normal care stage! So in the blazing summer, how exactly should jasmine be cared for? Hurry up and learn with Huahua!

1. Water in the morning and evening

Summer is the period when jasmine grows most vigorously and needs a relatively large amount of water, so it is best to water once in the morning and once in the evening. If the air is relatively dry, you can mist the flowers appropriately to keep them moist.

2. Put it in a place with plenty of light

Jasmine is commonly known as "can't be killed by sun". In summer, if you want jasmine to bloom abundantly and smell fragrant, you need to give it plenty of light. Flower lovers who can should keep jasmine outdoors without shade.

3. Supplement fertilizer appropriately

Jasmine is currently in its flowering period and has a relatively high demand for fertilizer. You can apply cake fertilizer water or bone meal once every half month. It is best to fertilize in the evening, so that if there is too much fertilizer, watering the next day can dilute it.

4. Prevent and control pests and diseases

Now is when jasmine is most prone to spider mites and scale insects. Flower lovers can chop onions, mix with water at 50 times dilution, and spray it on the places with small insects; about 3-5 times should be enough.
