To ensure your cutting’s success, follow these steps:

Using the pruners or scissors, cut a stem at least 4 inches long. Just below where it attaches to leaves and without cutting too far into its base is what you should aim for in order not to damage plant tissue.
When cutting a flower, make sure you remove any spent flowers or bud from the tip. You want all of its energy going into growing new roots and not developing another blossom!
One of the first steps you should take is to cut your plant down to three leaves, leaving them on top. This will ensure that no leaves are touching soil and instead they’re staying away from any moisture collecting inside of it which could lead into rot (and ruin all our fun!).

Tip: To keep your plants and gardening tools healthy, it is important to maintain a sterile environment. Cleaning and disinfecting them with rubbing alcohol or wipes will help you avoid spreading pests from one plant-related task to another!

How to Plant

Jasmine plants are delicate, but they can grow in well-draining soil or a commercial potting mix. To plant your cutting:

Make a depression in the soil with your chopstick or trowel. Make sure it’s not too deep, so you can plant roots without knocking off any rooting hormone powder when placing cuttings into the hole.

Pour a small amount of rooting powder into a plastic bag or cup. Then, dip one end in so that it is covered about 1-1/2 inches up on either side with this mixture and swish around until all surfaces are coated thoroughly by hand for best results!

You want to make sure that the cutting is planted about 2-3 inches into soil, and pressed gently around it. Watering can be helpful to moisten the soil – just don’t soak them!

Warning: There are many pests that can Damage cuttings rooted in the ground. For best results, plant them into pots and let their roots grow before planting them out permanently.
