What is the propagation method in jasmine?

Published in Plant Propagation 1 min read

Jasmine can be propagated through several methods as highlighted in cultivation practices. These methods allow for the successful multiplication and growth of new jasmine plants from existing ones.

According to the provided reference, the propagation methods for jasmine include:

  • Cuttings: Taking a piece of a stem from a healthy jasmine plant and encouraging it to root.
  • Layering: Inducing roots to form on a stem while it is still attached to the parent plant. The reference specifically mentions layering timing:
    • North India: June-July
    • South India: June to December
  • Sucker: Using shoots that emerge from the base or roots of the parent plant.
  • Grafting: Joining a part of one plant (scion) onto the root system of another (rootstock).
  • Budding: A specific type of grafting where a single bud from one plant is joined to another.
  • Tissue Culture: Propagating plants from very small pieces of tissue or cells in a sterile laboratory environment.

These diverse techniques offer flexibility for growers depending on resources, climate, and desired propagation scale. Layering, for instance, is a reliable method often used due to its success rate, with optimal timing varying by region as noted in the reference.
