• The characteristics of winter jasmine

The winter jasmine, also called jasmine flower naked, stands out from the summer jasmine for its flowering that begins on naked branches, in winter until spring, from December to April. In April, the leaves begin to appear.

When you are young, its branches are green and the length of these can reach 5 meters.

Jasmine

There are three steps for this. You will need a butcher with apple, a garden claw or a collection fork, a pruning shelf, the cutting hormone and a terracotta pot.

• Step 1: Define the ideal time to cut the jasmine

In order for the cuttings to be successful, it must be done during the most suitable season to do it. Which is different depending on the variety of jasmine. But in general, the cuttings must be made in the summer, both the month of July, August or September, with branches without flowers and lignified or semi-colored.

The end of February must be made and if you live in a slight climatic region.

Finally, the right time to cut is from June-July for winter Jasmines.

• Step 2: Take the cut

Choose portions of the Bodified Auction of the United Nations and without dead wood. Then, cut from vigorous branches, under the knot and which form a perpendicular with the auction axis, with pruning. After, Cut the end of the cut cut just cut, 0.5 cm above another node.

It should be noticed that a 15 cm cut can only contain two knots : one to produce roots and the other to emit growth.

Finally, to finish with this step, remove the leaf from the bottom of the cut and reduce that of the end to reduce evaporation.

• Step 3: Punge the cutting of the jasmine

There you have two possibilities: Sting the cuttings in the pot or in the ground.

The first option (putting the jasmine cut in a pot) is the most recommended if the species of jasmine in question is not very rustic or if you live in a place in the fresh climate.

In this case, the cut in a large pot consisting of a mixture of peat and sand in equal quantities. Make sure the pot in which Puni has a large drainage hole. Otherwise, it is necessary to add to the bottom a drain layer composed of clay or gravel spheres. But before stinging the cut in the substrate, you must first immerse the base in the hormone of the cut. Then shake it to eliminate the excess liquid.

Depending on the species, reduce the size of the leaves or limb. For example, if it is Jasmine Sambac, we will have to cut 2/3 of the limb because their leaves are quite large.

Once you have finished putting the jasmine by cutting in a pot, place it under a frame in shaded half, At a temperature of 20 ° C.

During the winter season, put the species fearing the cold in a veranda. So put the cuttings in position when spring arrives.

In addition to these constraints (variety of small rustic jasmine or in an essentially fresh climatic region), the cuttings can be blocked in the ground, in a relatively light and fresh substrate, such as clay or sandy and half shade soil.

Before putting the cuttings, check whether the earth is dry or not. If it is dry, you should water it before putting the cut. Otherwise, you can immediately go to the next step which consists in the ventilation of the substrate up to 15 cm depth, using a fork for Picker or a label.

It is after doing all this only that you can punish the cut up to half of its length. Then gently crushes around the auction with the hand. Finally, sprinkle your plant with a refined rain and straw, for example with mowing waste.

In general, rooting takes place during the summer. So transplant your cuttings in March or April and Pianale in their last place, in a place that can very well be reached by light.

Jasmine is not afraid of the sun's rays, it even needs it. Be careful that it is not organized against a window. This can produce with the sunlight an enlarged glass effect that could burn the flowers of the plant.
