Plant Cuttings

[joechambers]

Do you know if i can take cuttings from CLEMATIS or JASMINE and grow them as you can from fuschias???

[Lindy Loo]

I haven't done cuttings of clematis and jasmine before so found these links for you. A long link I know..but here's one for clematis cuttings http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/basics/techniques/propagation _takeclematiscuttings.shtml And this one might help for the jasmine http://www.floridata.com/ref/j/jasm_mul.cfm Hope they help and good luck

As you can see clematis cuttings are a bit fiddly but jasmine has always been easy for me.  I simply put 10 inch pieces in about 5 inches of water & hey presto  - they sprout roots. However I usually do this from spring to summer.

For clematis..

I always used to just copy (from the address bar on the recommended site) and paste into the answerbox to give the link but it didn't work today.
