jasmine

I have a jasmine plant covering the trellis over my deck and was wondering if I could propagate it in some way. Can I take a cutting from the plant itself or dig down and cut a portion of the root? Is so, should I put it in water, or in soil? The plant is huge, so it won�t mind being cut a bit. Is this even possible with this type of bush? I could always buy a new one, but that�s not as much fun. Thanks.

hey

first.. you would need a full ID ... the latin name ... pix of flower, leaf and bush will probably get it here...

then you would start with something like the link ... and lo and behold a couple GW posts ...

under commons names.. the plants contained therein .. can vary widely.. and it MIGHT make a difference ...

though if you have a large mother plant.. wing it.. try every type of propagation ... ones gotta work.. lol .. be your inner mad scientist.. experiment ....

ken

Here is a link that might be useful: link

Thanks for the quick response.
I couldn�t come close to knowing anything about this plant other than its yellow and smells good when it blooms.
I want something to grow and cover my ugly chain link fence.
I was kinda thinking along the same lines you were. I�ll just try a little bit of everything and see what happens. Nothing to lose, and besides, I�ve got more time than money.
