The propagation methods of jasmine include seeding, cuttings and division

Jasmine is a flowering plant native to Yunnan Province in China, and today many people in every province of China are growing it. As more people grow it, questions about its propagation have drawn more attention. How is jasmine propagated? What are the propagation methods of jasmine? Below, the editor will walk you through it.

1. How is jasmine propagated: seeding / cuttings / division

When it comes to how jasmine is propagated, it can mainly be divided into three methods: propagation by seeding, propagation by cuttings and propagation by division. As long as we operate properly and are careful in the process, the survival rate of all three propagation methods is very high. The specific details of the three propagation methods are given below, and interested friends can take a look.

Propagation by seeding

Seed collection: this plant does not produce many fruits, and each fruit contains only one seed. Its fruits generally ripen in the twelfth lunar month, and when ripe the fruits turn black; this is the time we can harvest them. After harvesting, take out the flesh outside, remove the seeds, dry them in a dry place, store them, and sow them the following spring.

Sowing method: among the propagation methods of jasmine, propagation by seeding is a relatively commonly used method. First we should apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil, then scatter the seeds on the surface of the soil, and after scattering, cover them with 1-2cm of soil and water them. When watering, it is best to use the soaking-pot method, because jasmine seeds are rather small, and watering directly from above will wash the seeds away.

Propagation by cuttings

Selection of cuttings: before propagating jasmine by cuttings, we must first choose the cuttings. Generally it is best to choose relatively robust branches as cuttings, as this gives a higher survival rate. If you choose branches that already look very thin, they will basically be very hard to keep alive. After choosing the cuttings, we also need to trim off the leaves at the bottom, keeping only 2-3 leaves at the top before cutting.

Cutting method: when taking cuttings we can choose spring, since spring is the season when all things revive and the climate is also moderate; choosing this time for cuttings still gives a very high survival rate. Before cutting, we should first use chopsticks to poke a hole in the soil as thick as the cutting, then insert the cutting into it and water thoroughly. This operation can avoid damage to the cutting when inserting it, and is very practical.

Propagation by division

For propagation of jasmine by division, we can generally do it together with repotting. When dividing, we can lift the overly dense mother plant out of the pot soil, then cut it into several clumps and pot them separately, planting as we divide; it roots very easily, and generally after potting it is a complete foliage plant.

How to grow jasmine: jasmine planting methods / seed collection in the twelfth lunar month / planting in early spring

Among the propagation methods of jasmine, they are mainly divided into three methods: propagation by seeding, propagation by cuttings and propagation by division. Among them, propagation by seeding is a relatively commonly used one, and its survival rate is also very high. So how do you grow jasmine? What are the planting methods of jasmine? Below, the editor will walk you through it.

1. How to grow jasmine: be careful

When it comes to how to grow jasmine, there are many points we need to pay attention to, such as the choice of substrate, the collection of seeds, the planting method and so on. The most important thing is to be careful in the propagation process, so that we can strive for perfection and the survival rate will naturally be higher. As for the specific planting details, they are below; let us take a look.

1. Seed collection

This plant does not produce many fruits, and each fruit contains only one seed. Its fruits generally ripen in the twelfth lunar month, and when ripe the fruits turn black; this is the time we can harvest them. After harvesting, take out the flesh outside, remove the seeds, dry them in a dry place, store them, and sow them the following spring.

2. Substrate selection

Before planting jasmine, we first need to choose a substrate. This is the step of laying a good foundation and is very important. Generally it is best to choose loose, fertile sandy loam as the substrate; this kind of soil has relatively good drainage and aeration, allows the plant to absorb nutrients better, and is not prone to waterlogging.

3. Seed germination

In addition to the above two points, before planting jasmine there is one more pre-treatment we need to do, which is to germinate its seeds. We can take out the stored seeds, then soak them in warm water for 12-24 hours, and take them out once the seeds begin to absorb water and swell; this allows the seeds to sprout more quickly.

4. Planting method

When planting jasmine, we should first apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil, then scatter the seeds on the surface of the soil, and after scattering, cover them with 1-2cm of soil and water them. When watering, it is best to use the soaking-pot method, because jasmine seeds are rather small, and watering directly from above will wash the seeds away.

5. Follow-up management

After we have successfully planted them according to the above method, once the seeds sprout we need to carry out daily care for the jasmine. During care we need to pay attention to regular application of water and fertilizer, light management and so on. For specific details, everyone can refer to the article on jasmine cultivation methods, which contains detailed care instructions.

An introduction to jasmine cultivation methods, along with a summary of the corresponding precautions

Cultivation techniques of jasmine
Jasmine is widely cultivated around the world.
Seed propagation
Jasmine does not bear many fruits; the fruits are close to the size of pea seeds, and each fruit contains only one seed. The seeds are harvested in the winter twelfth lunar month when the fruits have fully turned black and ripened. After harvesting, place them together with the outer flesh in a ventilated, dry place to dry, then sow around the Start of Spring solar term; for the sowing seedbed, use fertile, loose sandy loam to make raised beds, with15cmrow spacing, open shallow furrows and sow in drills, then cover with soil1cmor use15cmx15cmshallow-pond spot sowing; after sowing, cover with1a layer of pine needles or rice straw to prevent the seeds from being exposed when watering, then sterilize and disinfect, water thoroughly, cover with a small arched shed with film to retain moisture and increase temperature, and after careful management and protection for half a year the seedlings can be raised and leave the nursery.
Propagation by cuttings

Jasmine cutting propagation can produce a large number of flower seedlings in a short period. For cutting time, in the Yunnan region with distinct dry and wet seasons, protected cultivation for seedlings is best in1mid-month (before the Start of Spring solar term20dor so); open-field cutting propagation is best between6、7the month's Grain in Ear and Major Heat solar terms, just as the rainy season begins. When cutting, select from the outer edge of the mother plant1-2agreen, vigorous branches, cut flat between two leaf nodes, and cut into cuttings with2-3leaf nodes as one section (if cutting in summer, do not choose overly tender branches). The cuttings are generally8-12cmlong; remove the flower buds and the lower1~2leaves of the leaf nodes. If the top cut is sealed tightly with wax or plastic film, the effect is even better; the lower part of the cutting is soaked in5/10000naphthalene acetic acid or1/10000ABT1rooting powder solution No. for 1h, then inserted into a small raised seedbed of sandy loam with less humus that has been disinfected with fungicides such as carbendazim. The insertion depth should be such that the retained leaves are off the soil, and proper shading and temperature and moisture control should be done. If a small arched shed with plastic film is used to cover the seedlings, ventilate in good time during hot weather to prevent burning the seedlings. Generally after cutting,30dadventitious roots grow from the buried leaf nodes below, and new buds emerge from the upper leaf nodes;90dafter that, they can be put into bags for temporary planting, or the seedlings can be dug up and leave the nursery half a year later.

Propagation by division
Propagation of jasmine by division is even simpler and easier, and is suitable for small-scale planting by ordinary households. When dividing, select the suckering seedlings sprouting from the roots around the mother plant and pry them out along the roots, cut off the vine10-50cmand above, then tie the top tightly with plastic film to seal it, and it becomes 1 new seedling that can be directly used for planting. If planted in early spring, buds can appear in winter of that year, and the following spring it can bloom abundantly.

Planting management

Jasmine cultivation can be divided into planting in courtyards, beside guardrails, and potted cultivation on balconies2types. For courtyard planting, simply dig a pit at the foot of the wall, plant it, and tie2mhow long a wire3-5for it to climb on; you can also build a trellis for cultivation to form shade beneath the vine. For balcony potting, choose a relatively large flower pot and plant with decomposed, fertilized soil. After planting, insert two2mhow long pieces of small white bamboo, purple bamboo, etc. into the pot for it to climb on. However, because potted planting has less soil, after planting2、3years the pot soil must be fully or partially replaced. To replace the pot soil, you can use a hand-held plastic bag to take loam, add1/3chicken manure, sheep manure and other farmyard manures, mix evenly, water until it shows water when squeezed by hand but does not drip, then tie the plastic bag opening tightly and place it in a sunny spot to ferment and decompose20-30d; after prying out most of the old soil from the flower pot, replace it with the fermented fertilized soil.

The above is the introduction to jasmine cultivation methods that I have compiled, along with a summary of the corresponding precautions. I hope it can be of help to the many flower lovers, and please continue to follow Duorou Huapu to learn more about flower care knowledge.
