Jasmine propagation by cuttings: planting in spring and summer

Features of culture

Garden jasmine (chubushnik) is an erect shrub with many trunks 0.8-4 m high. The crown is spherical, the leaves are oval-pointed. The shoots are bare, inside there is a soft core, which allows them to be used in the production of a shank. Reproduction of the chubushnik is often done through them.

In the fall, the foliage turns yellow and falls off. The flowers are cream or white in color, the size reaches 5 cm, the intensity of the smell depends on the variety. Some varieties have a flowering period of 7 weeks. The culture blooms, depending on the region and variety, from late June to July.

A little advice from landscape designers

Now that you know how to propagate jasmine, you can plant some shrubs that will create a wonderful hedge in a couple of years. It will become a real highlight of your estate.

True jasmine is an evergreen climbing and creeping plant that grows in the subtropics. A variety of the Hortensiev family, widespread in Russia, is called so for the pleasant aroma characteristic of some species. The garden jasmine shrub reproduces in several ways. It is unpretentious in care and cultivation, for which it is popular in landscape gardening.

Basic breeding methods

The choice of method depends on whether there is a garden jasmine bush available. The use of layering is the most popular, since the procedure is the least laborious, and the plants take root well with this method. If there is no jasmine bush on the site, but it is possible to break off a branch from a neighbor or in another place, it is better to use cuttings.

There are many methods of breeding culture, everyone can find the most suitable one for themselves. The plant is unpretentious, so it will not be difficult to grow it even from seeds.

The main ways to propagate a mock-orange include:

• cuttings with or without a heel;
• sowing seeds;
• dig in the layers;
• divide the bush into several parts with roots.

Cuttings

The method of propagation of the mock-orange bush by cuttings is simple, which does not require the presence of a plant in its area. You need to choose a large, developed shoot. It is undesirable to use a growth plant, since rot may subsequently appear in its cavities. Fast-growing branches are also not suitable, their internodes are too large.

A suitable length of the process is 5 cm, it should also have 2-3 pairs of leaflets, 1-2 internodes. For green cuttings, the shoots must be cut in mid-June.

Carefully separate the stalk with a knife, treat the cut site with any stimulant for improved root formation. For rooting, you can lower the cuttings in water for 2-3 weeks or immediately plant them to a depth of 0.5-1 cm in a mixture of sand and peat. The plant takes root well when planted at an inclination of 30-40 °. Do not bury the leaves.Cover the top with a glass jar, plastic bottle or greenhouse film to create greenhouse conditions. Suitable temperature for growth is 20-25 ° C.

Good lighting and daily spraying with a spray bottle are essential to maintain moisture. The shelter can be removed after 3-5 weeks, when the plant takes root and develops a root system.

Before planting garden jasmine in open ground, the stalk must get stronger.... It is advisable to start hardening in a few days so that the chubushnik gets used to the new conditions. For a permanent place of growth, choose a sunny, open area, but the appearance of a short-term shadow is acceptable. Prepare the soil in advance, apply fertilizer, water.

When shoots form on a transplanted plant, hilling is required to strengthen the roots. It is advisable to loosen the soil, water if necessary. Cut off the top the next year so that the shrub grows lush, spreading and beautiful.

Cutting with heel

The method is considered more productive than green cuttings. The shoot should have a small piece of a one-year-old twig, which is called the heel. Such processes root better and give stronger plants. The procedure can be carried out in late autumn after the leaves have fallen off. The upper cut of the cutting should be straight, and the lower one slightly beveled. Store the twigs in the basement in damp sand until spring.

If you cut garden jasmine with a heel, the use of stimulants for the development of the root system is optional, but you can take Kornevin or Epin. The further rooting procedure is similar to the green breeding method.

Seedlings grown by cuttings can be transplanted to a permanent growing place in the garden after preliminary soil preparation.

Seed propagation

This method is the longest. Chubushnik grows for a long time, it may take several years before flowering. In addition, varietal characteristics are not preserved during the propagation of garden jasmine in this way. For this reason, sowing seeds is mainly used only by breeders to develop new varieties of crops.

Seed material can be stored without loss of germination for a year, it does not need stratification, but it can be stored in a refrigerator in a mixture of sand and peat. Sowing in spring or autumn. For the winter method, preliminary preparation is not required. To accelerate the emergence of the sprouts of the chubushnik in the spring, soak the seeds for 2 hours in warm water, then place them in slightly moistened sawdust or peat for 3 days. Before sowing, dry it a little and mix with river sand.

The soil mixture should contain forest litter, turf and compost in a 2: 1: 1 ratio. You can sow in a greenhouse or greenhouse first, no additional heating is required. Provide light shading and regular watering. It is advisable to spray one-day seedlings with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Make a pick in 1-2 weeks.

Reproduction by layering

The procedure is carried out in early spring, before the first buds bloom. Dig up the ground around the jasmine bush, level the surface. Pull the layers intended for subsequent reproduction with a thin soft wire 2-3 turns in front of the first lower, sufficiently developed bud.

With the development and growth of the twigs, the constriction will begin to be pressed in, then roots will appear in this place.

Lay the prepared layers in grooves 1-1.5 cm deep, fix with slingshots from branches, sprinkle with loose soil. After a while, young shoots will grow on them. When they reach a length of 15 cm, they need to be earthed to a height of 8-10 cm, after 1.5 weeks, repeat the procedure. Do this several times until new shoots grow to 20-25 cm.

With the shrub method of reproduction, the layers must be dug out in October and divided according to the number of shoots with roots. In this case, the height can be up to 70 cm. Dig in for the winter, plant in the garden in the spring. Bushes are transferred to a permanent place of cultivation only after 1 year.

Shrub division

This method, how to propagate garden jasmine, is mainly used when transferring a plant to another place or with strong growth. Chubushnik is transplanted by dividing the bush in early spring or autumn. A day before digging, you need to water abundantly, then dig up, trying not to damage the root system, wash the roots from the ground. Divide the bush into several parts so that each has a sufficient number of roots.

The ends of the shoots and roots must be cut a little and immediately planted in a new place of growth, deepening to the upper pair of buds. The planting scheme is 40x10 cm. The soil must be previously disinfected with potassium permanganate and well fertilized. Next, the bushes need to be watered abundantly. If you plant garden jasmine in the spring, rooting should take place in 3-5 weeks, and by the end of summer, the root system will already be well developed.

Reproduction of a chubushnik is possible in several ways. If simple rules are followed, the procedure results in the formation of new plants that are well adapted to growing in the open field. In some cases, it may be necessary to use a greenhouse or greenhouse.

Jasmine is often confused with chubushnik due to its external resemblance and similar aroma. Both plants are ornamental shrubs designed to decorate gardens and summer cottages. Some species can be grown at home. Sometimes gardeners need to propagate jasmine, for example, for the construction of a hedge. This procedure involves several methods. One of the simplest is jasmine cuttings in the summer.

Dividing the bush

This method of reproduction of the mock-orange is suitable if the bush has grown too much. Then it is dug up and divided into 3-4 parts. In doing so, the following conditions must be observed:

• each part must have a sufficient number of healthy roots;
• old damaged roots are cut off, excess shoots are also removed;
• it is advisable to transplant the bush immediately on the day of digging it up in order to avoid drying out the rhizome;
• if, nevertheless, there is no opportunity or time to transplant the mock-orange on the same day, then sprinkle its roots with earth and continue working the next day.

Division of an ornamental shrub into parts

It is important to start reproduction by dividing the bush in the due time. In the spring, it is better to carry out the division during the period when the leaves of the bush have not yet blossomed, in the fall - as soon as the foliage falls off.

Note! The transplant site must be fertilized. It is also worth disinfecting the soil - treating it with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Description and features of the plant

Jasmine belongs to the Olive family and differs markedly from other members of its genus. It grows as an erect or climbing shrub with slender shoots on which are simple dark green trifoliate leaves.

During flowering, corymbose inflorescences are formed on the top of the stems, collected from single flowers with a pronounced sweet aroma. Inedible berries are subsequently formed inside the long corollas. The color of the petals can be white, pink and yellow, depending on the variety.

On a note! The flowers of the plant are often added to green tea as an aromatic component, and its essential oil is used to make perfumery.

Jasmine does not require any kind of painstaking care, so summer residents willingly use it to decorate their site. Today, there are more than 300 species of this shrub in culture. The most popular varieties include:

• multi-flowered;
• drug;
• jasmine Lerata;
• shrub;
• flattened;
• Chinese;
• sambac.

Most of the species of this thermophilic culture grows in South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, and the Mediterranean. In Russia and other European countries, only 2 varieties of the plant are grown - shrub jasmine with yellow flowers and white medicinal jasmine.

Shrub jasmine with yellow flowers

Shrub characteristic

More than 100 varieties of jasmine have been bred by breeders. Some types of this beautiful shrub have a pleasant and very rich aroma. Others are less scented. There are varieties that have no smell at all.

The shrub belongs to the hydrangea family. It begins to bloom in early spring and ends in summer. Most of the other plants bloom during this time. But a green lush bush is beautiful even without flowers. It is not for nothing that designers consider it an excellent garden decoration.

Jasmine flowers are striking in a variety of forms. They can be double or simple, with narrow or wide petals. Recently, varieties have been created that even have a variety of colors.

Unfortunately, chubushnik is not found as often as roses or lilacs. But if you are lucky enough to find it, then you need to know how to propagate jasmine. Let's consider this procedure.

How to propagate jasmine by cuttings

Cutting is a simple and convenient way to reproduce not only jasmine, but also jasmine mock-orange. New plants are formed from cuttings much faster than from seeds. Many shoots can be cut off from one bush at once for cultivation. In the spring, ripe jasmine cuttings are rooted. How to propagate jasmine by cuttings in summer? For this, green shoots are used.

Selection of planting material

A description of how jasmine multiplies should begin with recommendations for the choice of planting material. How to cut jasmine so that it will surely take root? Branches should be taken from large overgrown bushes. When selecting cuttings, attention is paid to the following criteria:

• shoots not older than one year are used;
• branches should be large, with developed leaves;
• it is not recommended to use shoots with long internodes, since it will not be possible to get strong developed specimens from it.

The success of their rooting and further development largely depends on the quality of the cuttings. Of course, the bush must be absolutely healthy, without signs of disease and damage from pests.

How to propagate green cuttings in water

Young sprigs of jasmine can be placed in water for rooting. For everything to go well, you need to follow a few rules. The water should be at room temperature, boiled or settled. As it evaporates, it is topped up to the previous level.

You can throw an activated carbon tablet at the bottom of the glass, this will prevent pathogenic microorganisms from multiplying. For the cutting, you need to install a supporting support so that the lower end of the stem does not touch the walls and bottom.

Young sprigs of jasmine can be placed in water for rooting

Periodically, a branch set for rooting is taken out of the water and examined. If the cut is rotten, you need to cut the cutting from the bottom again to healthy tissue. The roots should appear in 1-2 weeks. When their length is 2 cm, the cutting can be planted in the ground.

How to prepare a cutting

Cutting cuttings is carried out only with a sharp instrument. Each branch should have 2 internodes and 3 pairs of leaves. Better than others, cuttings "with a heel" are rooted, which are cut off near the base of the shoot extending from a mature branch. The lower leaves are cut off completely.

On a note! The remaining leaf plates are shortened by 1/3. The upper cut should be at right angles, 1 cm above the upper kidney. From below, the cutting is cut under the very last bud, observing an angle of 45 °. Cuttings "with a heel" are cut only from above.

How to root jasmine in soil

How to dilute jasmine from a twig to get a strong young bush? To root jasmine cuttings in the ground, use small clay pots or plastic cups, where the shoots are planted one at a time. You can root jasmine in a mixture of river sand and peat. The main thing is that the substrate is loose and permeable, without moisture stagnation.

How to root jasmine in soil

On a note! It is preliminarily recommended to calcine the soil mixture in the oven to disinfect it. The container must also be disinfected before planting by rinsing with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Drainage from expanded clay is laid at the bottom, and then the substrate is poured and moistened. A hole is made in the ground with a thin pencil and a stalk is placed in it, deepening to the first pair of remaining leaves. After planting, the container is covered with a glass jar.

Description of the rooting process

Rooting of cuttings occurs at temperatures above 22 ° C. The planting container should be placed in a well-lit place without direct sunlight. The substrate must be moistened in a timely manner, for this it is convenient to use a sprayer, and spray the cuttings themselves. Every 2-3 days, the jars are removed from the cuttings for airing for 20-30 minutes. It takes more than a month for plants to form roots.

On a note! It is possible to determine that the cuttings are rooted by the appearance of new shoots and roots coming out of the drainage hole.

Then you can act in different ways. Some plant jasmine in a pot and grow it at home for 2-3 years. Other gardeners immediately transfer young specimens to the garden.

Terms of cuttings

For spring reproduction, ripe branches cut in the fall are used. For harvesting, there are lignified annual shoots. They are stored in a cool cellar or refrigerator, previously wrapped in plastic. In mid-March, the planting material is taken out, cut into 15-20 cm lengths, treated with a growth stimulant and placed on rooting.

Jasmine propagation by cuttings in summer is carried out in the second half of June. Green shoots are much more likely to root successfully. Young plants quickly grow roots, start growing and become quite strong by the beginning of winter.

Stimulating rooting

Additional stimulation can be applied to help the cuttings take root faster. On sale for this there are special preparations that improve the process of root formation - Kornevin, Sodium humate, Zircon and others. They are used according to the instructions.

There are also folk remedies for this. For example, a solution of succinic acid (1 tablet per liter of water). The cuttings should be soaked in the composition for 30 minutes immediately before placing in the ground.

Interesting! If the planting material takes root in water, you can add aspirin there (5 tablets per 100 ml of water). Aloe juice is also a stimulant for growth processes. For rooting, you need to add 6-7 drops of juice squeezed from a ripe leaf to the water for rooting.

Rules for planting cuttings in the ground

If you plan to plant a rooted cutting directly into the ground, and not grow it in a pot at home, it must be prepared. A week before planting, you need to start hardening a young plant, then it will not experience shock and better adapt to a new place.

The soil must be prepared in advance. The soil is dug up, fertilized and watered just before planting the cutting. After the end of the procedure, the plant is huddled and paid increased attention to it in the first month. The seedling must be watered regularly and the soil near it must be loosened. The next year, the top of the bush is cut off so that it grows with a spreading crown and is lush.

If an adult bush has grown too large, it can be divided into several parts. How to plant jasmine by dividing the bush correctly? It is better to start this process in spring or autumn. A day before the jasmine bush is dug up, it is watered abundantly. After being removed from the ground, the plant is divided into several parts, each of which must be with roots.

Too long roots are shortened, and the length of the shoots is also slightly reduced. When planting, jasmine is buried to the lower buds. The land must be pre-fertilized and decontaminated. After planting, the plants must be watered. The rooting process will take 3-5 weeks in this case. You can also breed a culture by layering.

It is worth being puzzled by the question of how to propagate jasmine by cuttings if there is a lot of material left after pruning, or there is not yet an adult bush on the site that can be divided. You can also use this method when several branches for planting have come from neighbors in the country. Propagation by cuttings will require a certain amount of time, but as a result, the gardener will receive a large number of new plants that are well adapted to growing in his area.

Garden jasmine in the fall: pruning for beginners, rules for feeding, watering, features of cuttings

Often in garden plots you can find jasmine (chubushnik), since it easily tolerates frosts, lack of light, grows quickly, is well accepted after transplanting and does not make it difficult to care for. In addition, jasmine exudes a stunning scent.

CARE RULES FOR JASMINE AUTUMN

Deciduous shrub is commonly used for landscaping. In nature, there are more than fifty species of garden jasmine and a large number of cultivars.

How to fertilize jasmine in autumn

A flowering plant is not demanding on the characteristics of the soil, but in the absence of nutrients and insufficient air and moisture permeability, its growth and flowering will become noticeably worse. Heavy clay soil should be supplemented with strong drainage. Replace part of the sandy loamy sand with garden soil.

Experts recommend feeding jasmine no more than once a decade. Organic and mineral fertilizers must be applied throughout the year. Best in liquid form. You should start feeding the plant with products containing minerals in the third year after planting.

In autumn, after flowering is complete, jasmine needs additional feeding, which will give strength for a successful wintering. It is necessary to prepare a mixture of the following substances:

• wood ash (100 g);
• potassium sulfate (15 g);
• superphosphate (25 g).

For a lush color, jasmine should be fertilized with organic compounds. Add a manure solution diluted in a ratio of 1:10 under each plant. After the end of flowering, it is necessary to scatter 20-25 g (1 tablespoon) of superphosphate and 10-15 g of potassium sulfate per 1 sq. meter. Mineral fertilizers under the chubushnik are applied in September. If pellets are used, they should be scattered into damp soil and tamped down a little.

Jasmine autumn watering mode

Chubushnik is very picky about the presence of moisture. Do not allow it to dehydrate, and also make sure that no stagnation of water occurs. It is especially important to adhere to a watering schedule before flowering shrubs.

Yellowed and lethargic leaves indicate a lack of moisture in the soil. Watering should be done abundantly, but not overwhelm the plant. The water must first be defended. It must be warm, otherwise the jasmine can get sick. Since the end of July, the watering of the bush has been reduced. It is required to pay attention to the condition of the earth so that it does not dry out, but it is also important not to flood the bush. After each watering, the soil surface must be loosened and weeds removed as they grow. Rhizomatous weeds such as leek and dandelion act especially negatively on jasmine.

Scheme and technology for pruning jasmine in the fall for beginners

The dense crown of the shrub requires regular pruning, which is done every year, otherwise the old branches will overwhelm the young shoots, and the shape of the bush will take on a sloppy look. The most suitable time for the procedure is autumn. During this period, the growing season ends, and the plant prepares for winter rest. An important prerequisite for autumn pruning is that the temperature is above -10 ºC, otherwise fragile wood is easily injured under the influence of frost.

Tools required for work:

• secateurs;
• lopper;
• saws and hacksaws;
• putties (special preparations sold in specialized outlets, garden var), which protect the shrub from drying out and infections at the cut points.

Pruning is done to achieve two goals: shortening (creating the shape of the bush, regulating flowering, limiting intensive growth) and thinning (rejuvenation and sanitation). In autumn, as a rule, the plant is thinned out or rejuvenated.

As a result of pruning, the plant is freed from old, twisted, dried and diseased branches. Rejuvenation of the crown leads to the active growth of abundantly flowering branches. Neglect of the procedure threatens that in a couple of years the jasmine will stop blooming.

What is sambuc

There are two main hypotheses about the origin of the generic name of the elder (Sambucus).Most linguists associate it with sambuz, an ancient Greek musical instrument made from the shoots of this deciduous shrub. According to another version, sambuc could get its name from the designation of red paint in ancient Greek - sambyx. In the common people there were many definitions of this plant, such as "tubular tree", "girlish sambuk", "buchkan", "squeaker" and even "tree of fate" and "old lady". One of the names of elderberry is "witch tree". In ancient times, many mystical properties were attributed to a shrub with black berries. Sambuk was associated with misfortune - it was believed that sorceresses moved on it. Popular beliefs prescribed not to burn elderwood in the house, so as not to bring trouble. On the other hand, the elderberry symbolized fertility and love. The ancient Slavs believed that the sambuca bush near the house would protect the family from evil spirits (“In the garden it will protect both the garden and the house; under the bed - sleep”). The property of elderberry branches is known - to scare away mice, which were considered magical animals (intermediaries between the world of the dead and the living). And today, many owners put sambuca branches in their country houses and pantries to get rid of rodents. The smell of this plant is also not tolerated by cockroaches, flies and some garden pests. If only folk legends are associated with the magical properties of elderberry, then many nutritional and healing properties of this plant have been proven by modern science. Black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is recommended as a medicine, while red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa) is considered a poisonous plant. How to distinguish sambuca varieties? An elder is a shrub or small tree that can grow from 3 to 7-10 meters in height. The trunk and old wood are distinguished by cracked light ash bark, young shoots are covered with brown lenticels. The core of the shrub is loose, the leaves have a complex serrate shape. In June, the elderberry blooms small yellowish inflorescences that spread a pungent odor. In Sambucus nigra (black elderberry), the fruits are globular drupes of black-purple color, on long stalks. They are full of blood black sap. Sambucus racemosa (red elderberry) is distinguished by its small, shiny red berries. Elderberries are juicy and sweet and sour in taste. They contain essential oils, carotene, tannins, vitamin C and many other beneficial nutrients. Fruits are eaten most often in processed form. They can be dried, boiled berry jam, marmalade and jelly. In winemaking, black elderberry juice and flowers are used as a natural dye and flavor. In principle, everything is valuable in Sambucus nigra - flowers give a nutmeg smell to alcoholic beverages; buds and bark contain tannins and essential oil; young shoots are even peeled from the bark and eaten boiled or in marinade. Fragrant tea is prepared from elderberry blossom, the roots are used for medicinal decoctions and tinctures. Sambuc is primarily a medicinal plant, so you cannot eat it in large quantities and haphazardly. Dry berries, flower buds and flowers are most often used as medicinal raw materials in modern medicine. Raw materials are dried in the shade in the fresh air or in special dryers at a temperature of 30 to 35 degrees, then crushed. Applied in the form of tinctures, mixing with water 1:10 or tea (1 tablespoon of dry raw materials per 200 g of boiling water). Your doctor may prescribe elderberry for you as a diuretic, diaphoretic, or anti-inflammatory. for rinsing with laryngitis and tonsillitis. In addition, the healing properties of sambuca are used for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, rheumatism, gout, hemorrhoids, diabetes mellitus and many other diseases. Elderberry can be called a magic plant even today - for this it is not at all necessary to believe in white and black magic.

SPECIFIC FEATURES OF JASMINE BREEDING BY SHEARS IN AUTUMN

Chubushnik can be propagated in three ways: using seeds, cuttings and division. Since grafting shrubs is the easiest to do, especially for a novice gardener, this method is the most popular.

Principles of jasmine cuttings

Propagation by green cuttings guarantees one hundred percent rooting. But you can also use lignified cuttings, the rooting method of which is identical to green cuttings.

After the end of the growing season, it is necessary to choose a developed, but not very wide shoot, since putrefactive bacteria can develop in the hollow core, which will lead to the death of the cutting. A one year old shoot is best. It is recommended to cut the cuttings together with a small piece of old wood. It is undesirable to take branches with long internodes. One 5-centimeter cutting should have 1-2 internodes and 2-3 pairs of leaves. In order for the planting material to take root better, the cut should be oblique from below, and straight above the kidney.

In the spring, the harvested material must be removed from the storage sites, cut the cuttings and planted for rooting, having previously been treated with special stimulants.

Storing cuttings until spring

To preserve the cuttings until spring comes, they can be buried in an open area or placed in wet sand and stored in a basement where the ambient temperature is close to freezing.

It is necessary to plant the material in early spring, having previously made small indentations with a thin stick. Cuttings should be placed obliquely, deepening to the level of the upper buds. To improve contact with the soil, the cutting should be gently squeezed with your fingers.

After 1-1.5 months, the first roots will appear. After the start of shoot growth, the cuttings should be spud. During the warm period, they need special care. Young seedlings need watering, loosening and weeding. By the fall, you can see the appearance of a fibrous root system.

With the onset of cold weather, the seedlings need to be dug in, and in the spring, to form the shoots, cut the aboveground part onto a stump. Plant in a permanent place in early autumn.

Preparatory stage

To understand how to propagate jasmine by cuttings, you should study the recommendations of gardeners in detail:

1. For such a procedure, you will need lateral processes containing flowers. In order for the stalk to take root better later, it is necessary to cut it off with a piece of an old stem - with wood.
2. If you are interested in how to propagate jasmine by cuttings in the summer, then it is necessary to cut off the green shoots from sufficiently developed shoots in the spring. They will give a normal root system.
3. It is not recommended to prune fast-growing branches for planting. They have too long internodes.
4. The optimal cutting size for planting is approximately 5 cm. It must necessarily contain several pairs of leaves (2-3) and internodes (1-2).
5. A straight cut is made above the kidney. Below they perform an oblique. This procedure improves engraftment of the cutting. In addition, the lower leaves and inflorescences are cut off on the shoot.

HOW TO PREPARE JASMINE FOR WINTER CORRECTLY

Many varieties of chubushnik do not require special preparation for winter, because even in case of freezing of annual shoots, the crown will be restored after spring processing. Adult specimens tolerate low temperatures well.

Young seedlings are less resistant to winter cold. Shrubs less than a year old must be covered with a strong cold snap. Any covering material and rope for fastening are suitable as insulation.

The ground around the plant must be dug up and covered with mulch. You can use garden compost, paws of coniferous trees or fallen needles, manure. These simple actions will save the root system from freezing.
