How do I grow a clipping off of a Confederate Jasmine?

A friend of mine has Confederate Jasmine on her trellis. I love the smell of it. And I was wondering if I can grow a clipping from it ? And what is the best way to get the clipping ?

If possible layer it. This means you have to do the least work and it is almost guaranteed to grow.


Take a long branch stretch it out and pin it in the ground just behind a leaf joint anywhere along the length. Cover the stem with a little soil and wait. Eventually this section will grow roots and you can snip it from the parent and plant it.

Reply:I think you just take a side cut near the base of a branch and place it in 2-3 inches in soil and loosely wrap twist ties around IT and a stick (or small dowel) that is stuck in the ground next to it.





try a high nitrogen plant fertilizer when you water it.


I'd water it just as your friend does





I think.....





give it a try and see how it works.





growing plants isn't my specialty.
Reply:Greenfingers is correct, I've done this to many other plants and it works, just be patient!
