Sue,

I have propagated my various jasmine plants quite a few times. It seems very easy. I just clip off a 4-6 inch cutting and strip any leaves that would be under the potting mix. I then dip the cut end in rooting hormone and stick it in a small pot of perlite that I have already watered. Finally, I put the potted cutting in a ziplock bag and place in a bright, but not direct light, area. My cuttings seem to root pretty fast. After they root, I acclimate the plants to my indoor living conditions.

I hope this helps...Stephanie

Edited to clarify "rooting" hormone, not "rotting" hormone!
