Jasmine roots reasonably well from semi-hardwood cuttings, and its vining, trailing growth often layers naturally. Check for already-rooted trailing stems before taking cuttings.
Stem cutting
Take a 4-inch semi-hardwood cutting, dip in rooting hormone, insert into well-draining mix, keep humid.
Layering
Pin a trailing stem to soil; often roots within a season on its own.
When to propagate
Summer for cuttings.
Common problems
Cutting wilted. Low humidity — use a plastic cover.
