I am presently trying to produce a jasmine cutting.
I have dipped the stem in rooting powder and put a few into a pot of compost on the kitchen window sill.
Is the right way to do? If not could you pls suggest where i am going wrong

If its a winter jasmine, mine roots itself really easily when a stem from the parent plant is bent over to touch the soil, still attached, then can be cut away from the parent plant once it establishes itself (sorry, not sure that makes much sense!). If its the summer variety, sorry I dont know if the same is true!

Some of the Summer jasmine are quite hard to root from cuttings, but all of them will root from layers as described above. In fact too much, some of them. I have just removed two wheelbarrow loads of rooted pieces of J. x beesianum.

It's a summer flowering variety, beautiful fragrance with white flowers, Unfortunatly it has came from friends garden so unable to try. Thanks for the reply

If the window sill is a sunny one then move the cuttings to a more shady spot. They need light and humidity, but too much sun burns them, especially in a plastic bag. What you have done should work for that variety.
