5. Grow Jasmine: How to make a poet's jasmine plant - Jasminum grandiflorum.

Making more plants from the jasmine bush in the garden.

Take a branch from the jasmine bush. This should be done while the branch is still on the bush. There are small bumps where the branch branches. The roots should be formed from such places. Cut a small hole in the earth and put compost in it. Place the nodular part of the branch into the soil. Place a stone on the branch. Dig this up after about 20 days. Roots can be seen.

If you separate the branch from the bush and plant it, that part of the plant may die. But the probability of not dying with this method is 99%. Therefore, roots are obtained in this way while still in the bush. Now plant this branch with the roots. First, plant that branch in a pot. Then it can be planted in the ground in a suitable place. After about 5 days, you can see some growth in this plant.
